Make sure you source a couple of fresh eggplants and a few perfectly ripe red tomatoes, add our usual special effects (high quality Italian extra-virgin olive oil and fresh garlic), garnish with fragrant basil… and you will have some amazingly tasty meal, ready to be eaten warm or cold!
Because it doesn’t take too much effort to make this baked eggplant with tomatoes recipe, I actually cook it quite a lot and the taste is something divine” I highly encourage you to try it for yourself.
While the meal presented in this videorecipe is vegetarian, you can enhance it by topping each eggplant splice with some Prosciutto Crudo (Parma ham) and even mozzarella bits. Enjoy!
