About

“It is such a pleasure to be able to obtain so many different dishes from the aubergine. Its versatility is really rewarding, as is illustrated in this recipe, where slices of aubergine act magnificently as a base or ‘carrier’ for other ingredients.”

olive oil, for frying
60 g pesto</

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6.
