Take two good sized aubergines and slice them lengthways, sprinkle on a tad of salt to draw out some moisture and lay on a kitchen towel for a few minutes.
Wash the salt off and pat dry before frying both sides in a pan or on a griddle with just a splash of oil. Transfer to a serving dish and arrange in layers till all used up. Using the same pan, gently fry off some chopped onion and garlic till soft and layer on top of the aubergine.
Add a generous sprinkling of good grated cheddar.
Cover with either home made passata or tinned chopped tomato and finally top with shavings of parmesan. Season to taste and add some basil to the tomato.
Chuck it in a hot oven to warm through and melt the cheese.
Serve with a simple salad and a wedge of toasted baguette.
