Instructions
Wash the aubergines and cut them lengthwise into slices about 5mm thick.
Heat a large pan and grill the aubergine slices in there for about half a minute on both sides. Ensure not to use any oil or liquid for this as the slices are supposed to grill dry.
Use an oven-proof dish and add a layer of the tomato sauce first, then a layer of aubergine slices, then salt, vegan cheese and basil. Repeat.
End with a layer of tomato sauce, topped with cheese. If you don't want to go gluten-free, feel free to add some breadcrumbs to the top for an extra crunch.
Bake everything for about 25 minutes at 190ÂșC.
Enjoy the scent when it comes out of the oven - it is pure heaven!
