Step by step recipe
1. First, let's prepare the eggplant.
Cut them into rings and put them in a bowl. Salt the chopped eggplants, mix and leave them for 20 minutes so that they let the juice out and the bitterness leaves them.
2. While the eggplant is salting, prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Squeeze the garlic through a press and fill it with cold drinking water.
3. Rub the cheese on a coarse grater.
Cut the tomatoes into slices.
4. Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it with vegetable oil.
