Aubergine millefeuille with confit tomatoes and burrata cheese

INGREDIENTS FOR 2 PEOPLE (2 turrets) :

  • 1 medium aubergine
  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ medium/large Tropea red onion
  • 150 gr stracciatella of burrata
  • 1 glass of red wine
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons of oregano

  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese (optional)

COOKING TOOLS :

PROCEDURE :

First, proceed with the preparation of the aubergines:

  • Wash the eggplant and cut it into very thin slices, alternate them in a colander and salt the whole surface well, finally put a plate with a weight on it;
  • leave everything for at least a few hours: with this procedure you will make the aubergine water and remove that bitter taste.
Then proceed with the preparation of the confit tomatoes:
  • Wash the tomatoes and always cut them into thin slices, arrange them on a plate lined with parchment paper, pre-heat the oven to 140°;
  • Chop the garlic, thyme, rosemary and chives and spread it generously over the tomatoes;
  • Also pour a little oregano, sugar and finally distribute a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on all the slices;
  • Leave in the oven for 2 hours at 140°, the tomatoes will lose their water and caramelize slightly.
While the tomatoes are slowly cooking, prepare the aubergines and the onion:
  • Cut the onion into very thin slices, pour them into a pan with a drizzle of oil, add salt and when they are slightly wilted add the red wine; let simmer on low heat for 15/20 minutes.
  • Take a pan, brush it with a little oil and grill the aubergines over high heat.

  • proceed to make the second layer in the same order.
