Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Aubergines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slice the aubergines into thin rounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place them in a bowl of salt water and let them soak for about 20 minutes. This helps remove bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make the Meat Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add diced onion and bell pepper, and saut\u00e9 until softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add minced meat to the skillet and cook until browned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stir in minced garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour in tomato puree and water, then add chopped parsley and tomato paste. Simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes until thickened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjust seasoning to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prep the Aubergine Layers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drain the soaked aubergine slices and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the aubergine slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until softened and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemble the Lasagna:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a baking dish, start layering the lasagna. Begin with a layer of baked aubergine slices, followed by a layer of meat sauce. Repeat the layers until you’ve used up all the ingredients, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Cheese and Bake Again:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprinkle grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top layer of meat sauce. Tear the fior di latte mozzarella into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place the lasagna back in the oven and bake at 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F) for another 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve and Enjoy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once baked, remove the lasagna from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve the aubergine lasagna hot and enjoy every delicious bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
