Preparation

Step 1

Cut eggplant in slices about 3/4 inch thick. Then lat eggplant on double layer of paper towels & salt generously to draw out water. While eggplant sits make sauce. Start cooking a generous amount of garlic in olive oil. Then add a can of pete diced tomatoes or 2 cups fresh tomatoes, dried italian seasoning & dried oregano. Let sauce simmer, add a tablespoon or 2 of water when it seems dry. After 30 minutes you can see liquid released from eggplant. Blot dry eggplant with paper towels. ( This also wipes off excess salt). Brush eggplant with oil, sprinkle with herbs & roast at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. While eggplant roasts thinly slice fresh basil( if using) & measure out mozzarella cheese ( about 2/3 cup total). Divide the sauce micture among eggplant pieces & top each with some sliced basil. Then top each one with generous amount of cheese. Put pizza under broler until cheese is melted
