    List of Ingredients




    1½ lb (700g) sliced aubergines (egg plants)
    Salt & freshly ground pepper
    3½ oz (90g) butter
    1 medium-sized onion (chopped)
    1 crushed garlic clove
    14 oz (397g) tin of chopped tomatoes
    1 oz (25g) flour
    ½ pint (300ml) milk
    2 tbsp (30ml) natural yogurt
    6 oz (175g) grated Cheshire Cheese

    Recipe



    Sprinkle salt on the aubergines (egg plants) and leave them to drain in a colander for approximately ½ an hour. Rinse and pat them dry before heating ½ oz (15g) of butter in a pan and frying the onions until soft. Then add the garlic and tomatoes, simmering for five minutes. Place 1 oz (25g) of butter, flour and milk in a saucepan and heat (whisking continuously) until the sauce thickens, boils and smoothes. Cook the sauce for a further one minute before stirring in all the yogurt and 4 oz (100g) of cheese. Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan and fry the aubergines on both sides until they are golden. Drain the aubergines on kitchen roll and arrange a third of them on an ovenproof dish. Cover with half the tomato mixture and pour on half the cheese sauce. Repeat, finishing with a layer of aubergines and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Place in the oven for 40 minutes.

    Serve immediately.

    Serves 4.
