Insanely quick aubergine Parmigiana
This is probably the quickest parmigiana you will ever make, but no one would ever know you hadn’t spent hours in the kitchen.
Less than 15 mins to an orgasmic plate of food and I’ve pretty much always got all the ingredients in stock – all good things to keep on standby for a quick meal.
My lad tasted this and said “THIS IS INSANE!!!!”
That means it’s pretty nice.

Ingredients
- 2 shiny, young aubergines, i.e. not ones that have gone fluffy and seedy. Slice lengthways 5mm thick.
- extra virgin olive oil
- 400ml of quality passata
- a few good sun dried tomatoes – not classically part of this dish but they really add something
- 1 large onion, finely chopped – and if you have a clove of garlic handy crush that too, not essential. Note: I use frozen chopped onions when making this so I can keep the time down, nothing wrong with them at all. Sometimes I leave the onions out, it’s still gorgeous.
- 2 x 125g balls of buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 50g of grated fresh parmesan
- sea salt
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- freshly grated parmesan to serve

Dot the slices of mozzarella around the pan and continue to cook until they melt.

Nutrition Info
Aubergines
The beautiful purple skin of the aubergine is where so many of its phytonutrients lie. They’re in the skin to give the plant protection from the elements and pests and when you eat them they help to do the same for you.
Aubergines are rich in anthocyanin and a phytonutrient called Nasunin, which is a potent antioxidant to help protect cell membranes from damage.
