MELANZANE ALLA ROMANA (Stuffed Aubergines)
For the purist it is obviously a kind of melanzane alla romana as I have omitted the breadcrumbs and the eggs for an express version… I used a tin of chopped tomatoes for the little sweet and sour taste they possess once cooked. Prepare a lovely salad to accompany this yummy dish and you’ll have a balanced supper in no time…
Wine pairing : Gravina (White) from Puglia.
