🍅 For the homemade tomato sauce:
800 g chopped peeled tomatoes (good quality canned or fresh when in season)
1 finely sliced yellow onion
2 minced garlic cloves
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small pinch of sugar (optional, to balance the acidity)
1 bunch of fresh basil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
🧀 For assembly:
250 g mozzarella (drained and sliced)
80 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
A few fresh basil leaves
🔪 Preparation method: 1️⃣ Prepare the Eggplants
Wash and slice the eggplants into rounds about 5 mm thick.
Arrange them on a rack or in a colander, and lightly salt each slice.
Let them drain for 30 to 45 minutes to remove any bitterness.
Rinse quickly and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
