A veggie twist on an Italian classic, I just love making this recipe. It’s so filling and makes a great meal for the whole family.
With their high fibre content, eggplants help to support the digestive system and keep bowels healthy and regular. They also contain several important B vitamins which help maintain healthy skin and support the nervous system.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
2. For the filling: Slice three of the eggplants lengthways to use as lasagne sheets, and gently grill.
3. Slice the remaining eggplant into discs to use as a topping.
4. Place the rest of the ingredients for the filling in a pan and cook over a low heat until softening. Remove from the heat.
5. To make the sauce: Whisk the flour, butter and milk over a medium heat, until the sauce begins to thicken.
6. Lower the heat and beat in 3 tbsp of parmesan.
7. Spread the vegetable filling over the bottom of a baking dish and cover with a layer of eggplant sheets. Pour over a little sauce.
8. Repeat these layers until the baking dish is full, leaving a little sauce for the topping.
9. Arrange the eggplant discs on the top. Pour over the remaining sauce and 3 tbsp parmesan.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is bubbling and turning brown.
