Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I think this recipe heavily relies on the grill being available. I was able to adapt it without it, but one thing I noticed was the amount of liquid still. Taste is 10/10. Flexibility for ingredients 10/10. Just method should reduce the liquid a bit more in my opinion.

    Excellent dish, light, not greasy and not overly cheesy. I pre-baked the eggplant slices as directed, used a jarred sauce because I was short on time. Great use of all those eggplants coming out of the garden.

    I grilled my eggplant and I have to say it made a good difference. While I like eggplant parm, this recipe is a little less greasy than most because the eggplant dries out a little on the grill. The result is a slightly smokier flavour that feels a bit lighter. Definitely a huge winner, and an excellent veggie main.

    Delicious, I gridled the aubergine with courgette, was scrumptious! I served this with ciabatta mushroom bruschetta. Went down a treat.

    This is SOOOSOSOSOSOSOSO delicious. I fried the eggplant, even though Jamie said not to. It was so smooth & creamy & full of flavour. I drained the eggplant on kitchen paper after I cooked it for about 1 hour until most of the oil had come out. I will certainly make this again when we have friends over for an Italian dinner party. Great as a main served with salad or side for a meat dish. AMAZING.
