Ingredients:


Gratin:

  • 2 large eggplants
  • 3 potatoes
  • Salt & pepper
  • Grated cheese
Tomato Sauce:
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Paprika
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tsp cornstarch
  • Oregano
Preparation method:

To prepare the tomato sauce, start by blending the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan, add a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and tomato paste. Add a little water and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly. Meanwhile, in a small glass, mix the cornstarch with a bit of cold water until fully dissolved, then pour it into the saucepan. Add a little more water and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Once ready, turn off the heat, stir in the oregano, and set aside.

Wash the eggplants, cut them into slices, and place them on a baking tray. Lightly salt, drizzle with olive oil, and bake them until tender and slightly golden. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut them into slices, and fry them in hot oil until crispy and golden brown. Drain them on paper towels.

Now, assemble the gratin using individual mini baking dishes or a large baking dish. Start with a thin layer of tomato sauce at the bottom, then arrange a layer of eggplant. Cover with sauce, add a layer of potatoes, then another layer of sauce before adding a second layer of eggplant. Continue layering sauce, potatoes, and sauce again. Finish with a final layer of sauce and generously sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Bake at a moderate temperature until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve hot to enjoy this rich and flavorful vegetarian gratin.
