You can obviously buy a ready mixed Italian herb mix, or alternatively make your own which i’m sure will taste so much better, below.

In the Italian dried herb mix which I use.  There is a variety of different herbs, these are oregano, basil, red pepper, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley. The mix I use is 1 tsp. of each of the herbs and only ¼ tsp. of the red pepper.

Method.

  • Pre-heat the oven to 220c.
  • Slice the aubergine into ¼ inch slices.
  • Thinly slice the onion.
  • In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, herb mix.
  • Place the sliced aubergine on a lined or non stick oven tray.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the olive oil mix over the tops of the slices of aubergine.
  • Use the back of a small spoon or knife spread some tomato puree on top of the aubergine.
  • Now place some onion then some mozzarella cheese on the tops of each slice of aubergine.

The Aubergine or Eggplant is a soft fleshy absorbent fruit, sometimes treated as a vegetable which is used all over the world and is best cooked, as raw it has a bitter taste.

It can be boiled, stewed, deep fried, pan fried, put on the barbecue or roasted the way in which I made these mini pizzas.

Storing your eggplants/aubergine is best inside the fridge where they can last for 7 to 10 days, or around 5 days at room temperature in a dark part of your kitchen cupboard.
