Ingredients

Oven baked aubergines

  • 2 aubergines
  • 4 slices of serrano ham
  • 4 dl ajvar can be substituted with a spicy tomato sauce
  • a piece of parmesan cheese
  • 4 medium sized tomatoes

Garlic & basil oil

  • A generous handful of fresh basil leaves
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • Salt & pepper
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F/200 °C  .Cut each aubergine in half lengthwise. Score across the flesh on a 45 ° angle and then repeat in the other direction to achieve a diamond pattern (this allows the steam to escape). Top each aubergine with ajvar and tomato slices and bake in the oven for 20 min.
  • While aubergines are in the oven make the garlic & basil oil.    Add all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth.  Adjust taste with salt, pepper and garlic.
  • Then remove aubergines from  the oven, add a few slices of parmesan cheese and one piece of serrano ham to each aubergine and bake 20 more minutes in the oven, until they look nicely roasted and done.
  • Let the aubergines cool for a few minutes and sprinkle with some garlic & basil oil. Serve with bread and fresh spinach leaves.
