Aubergine Slices Recipes

Ingredients

  • 6 slices of aubergine, slice lengthways into 1/2cm thick slices
  • olive oil, to brush, plus extra to drizzle
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2tbsp basil pesto
  • 100g mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 50g sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced
  • 12 basil leaves, plus extra to garnish
  • toasted pine nuts, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the barbeque until hot.

  2. Brush the aubergine slices with olive oil and season. Place on the barbeque and cook for 3-5 minutes each side or until charred. You may have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your barbeque. Remove from the barbeque.

  3. Spread each aubergine slice with pesto. Place a slice of mozzarella, sundried tomato slices and a basil leaf on one half of the aubergine slice. Fold and put a cocktail stick through the top of the aubergine.

  4. Put back onto the barbeque to warm through for 2-3 minutes. Serve straight away with a sprinkling of pine nuts and a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with basil leaves.
