Ingredients
- 1 aubergine
- 4 garlic
- 7 1/10 oz lemon ricotta
- 2 tbsp salsa verde
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (400°F).
- 2Slice the aubergine into ½‑inch rounds.
- 3Place the slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 4Roast the aubergine for about 20 minutes, turning once, until the flesh is tender and lightly browned.
- 5While the aubergine roasts, gently melt the confit garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until fragrant, about 3‑4 minutes.
- 6In a small bowl, stir the lemon ricotta until smooth; if it feels stiff, add a splash of the garlic‑infused oil to loosen it.
- 7When the aubergine is done, spread a generous layer of lemon ricotta on each slice.
- 8Top each slice with a teaspoon of salsa verde and drizzle with the warm melted confit garlic.
- 9Serve the aubergine warm as a side dish, optionally garnished with a few fresh herb leaves.
