Instructions
 

  • Pate di Tonno is a tuna meal, is also available as a fish cream, from Sicily, in selected Italian delicatessen shops or on the Internet in Germany. Provola cheese is a hard Sicilian cheese that I would replace with Emmental in Germany.
  • Fry the aubergine slices in plenty of olive oil, squeeze them out well on paper towels and let them drain. Sauté shallot cubes in a tablespoon of olive oil. Add canned tomato pieces with sugar and basil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Put the sauce in an ovenproof dish. Spread the aubergine slices on top. Brush with the tuna cream. Top with slices of provolo, mozzarella and egg. Repeat the process until at least four layers are obtained. See photos. Finish with the sauce and sprinkle with the ricotta salata. Bake at 200 degrees top / bottom heat for 20 - 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve as a starter for four people and as a main course for 2 people.
