Ingredients for 4 people:2 elongated aubergines50 ml Balsamico Bianco100 ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil1 clove of garlic1 sprig of parsley6 sprigs of fresh thyme6 sprigs of fresh oregano salt pepper (or powdered chilli pepper)
Wash the aubergines and cook them whole in plenty of boiling, salted water. Prick them with a fork to see if they’re cooked; if it goes in easily, they’re ready. Strain them and, while still hot, use a knife to peel them. Cut off the ends and slice the aubergines thinly, lengthwise. Wash the parsley leaves, pat them dry and then use a “mezzaluna” knife to chop them together with the peeled clove of garlic, and thyme and oregano leaves. In a bowl, whisk the oil, salt, pepper (or chilli pepper) and Balsamico Bianco with the chopped herbs to form an emulsion. Grease the bottom of a glass oven dish with this mixture, place a layer of aubergine slices in it, season with a little of the emulsion, and continue creating layers until you have used all the ingredients. Cover the dish and put it in the fridge for at least 4-5 hours before serving.
