Ingredients

2 tbsp Asda extra virgin olive oil

400g Asda thick cut chopped tomatoes

1 large handful fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped)

1 garlic clove

Salt

2 tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil

1 large aubergine (cut into 5mm thick slices, lengthways)

1 large handful basil leaves (roughly chopped)

50g Good and Balanced sultanas

15g Good and Balanced pine nut kernels

1 ball large mozzarella (roughly chopped)

Freshly ground black pepper

Method

1
To make the tomato sauce, chop the garlic and sauté in a frying pan with the oil, add the tomatoes and basil. Cook over a medium high heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the tomato is just starting to break down. Season, to taste.
2
To make the aubergine gratin, first preheat the grill to high.
3
Heat a frying pan until hot. Then add the oil and aubergine slices, a few at a time and fry on each side until just golden and softened.
4
Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
5
Scatter the sultanas, pine nuts, basil and the chopped mozzarella over the aubergine. Season to taste.
6
Roll the aubergine slice up from the short side, to form a pinwheel.
7
Add half the sauce to an oven proof dish then place the untucked end of the pinwheel face down on top. Spoon over the remaining tomato sauce.
8
Place under the grill for 2-4 minutes until golden and bubbling.

TOP TIP: Add extra mozzarella before serving to make this more indulgent.

TOP TIP: If there’s time, toast your pine nut kernels for extra flavour.
