We combined our favourite tangy tomato sauce with the parmigiana, and it works perfectly. The caponata cuts through the rich cheesy layers perfectly.

Press GO to start step-by-step mode and keep your screen awake as you cook.
Step 1.
Preheat oven to 180°C/356°F.
Step 2.
Slice up your aubergines. Salt the slices and leave for 15 minutes. This will draw out the moisture.
Step 3.
Dab with tissue. Coat the aubergine slices in flour.
Step 4.
Pour some oil into a frying pan. Add the sliced aubergines to the pan and fry until slightly browned on each side. Remove and set aside.
Step 5.
Add some more oil to a pan and add the diced onions. Add parsley stalks, capers, red wine vinegar and Kalamata olives. Stir everything together and once the vinegar has dissolved, add tins of tomatoes. Break them up and bubble on a high heat until you have a very thick sauce.
Step 6.
Add a handful of chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
Step 7.
Get a baking dish. Spoon in a layer of your sauce. Top with a layer of aubergines. Add a layer of sliced mozzarella, followed by a layer of grated parmesan and then top with another layer of your tomato sauce. Top this with a final layer of aubergine. Add mozzarella and Parmesan on top. Drizzle over some olive oil and season with pepper.
Step 8.
Place dish in to the oven for 40-45 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Step 9.
Remove from the oven and leave to sit for 30 minutes. This will give it time to set. Then slice it up and tuck in!

The instructions say bake for 35 mins, but the video says bake for an hour. Could you please clarify? Thanks 🙂

Hi Thomas! Thanks for flagging this. We recommend baking this for 40-45 mins until it's golden and bubbling. We've updated the written method.
