Aubergine Parmigiana

  • You can see the sauce has thickened. Add 1 tsp of sugar to tomatoes. My mom-in-law told me this will get ride of the acidic flavour and bring out the natural sweetness in the tomatoes
  • Surprise ingredient - tear some fresh basil into sauce now start to squash the tomatoes
  • Continue cooking for 15 more minutes
