Nonna’s don’t normally put aubergine in
towers do they know this is quite sheffy
I’ve just finely sliced the skin of the
aubergine this will be fried later we’re
gonna slice this just under a centimeter
thick he uses a cutter to cut them into
perfect discs and do you remember how
big it was when you had yours five
layers well you junk at the time because
because he told us three season the
aubergine cover it completely with the
flour go in with the egg boil turn the
heat up now I’m using the hot point hob
hot point is the reason that we

few days you better focus get the
aubergine in the flower placing egged
aubergine into the oil while these fry
we’re gonna make the most simple tomato
sauce two cloves of garlic and if you
can add a little bit of olive oil to the
pan add the garlic basil roll it up this
is the quickest sauce ever
we’re gonna fry this off organic
Tomatoes whole plums and I’m gonna just
squash the tomatoes in this that’s how
heat aliens do it like you know we love
like the kitchen paper here is gonna
take away the excess fat turn the heat
up and now I can take the aubergine skin
and fry it have a look at that see how
this is crunchy and crispy now look at
that put it to one side the tomato sauce
is done give it a little season you are
a cheese maker can you explain this this
Martha it’s an aged mozzarella cheese it
has been smoked so it’s got that
incredibly robust flavor right yeah I’m
gonna slice this into little half
centimeter slices and I can see you’ve
brought some of your homemade cheese and
