Tender aubergine, a juicy filling and a golden cheese gratin crowning it all, with that contrast between the creamy inside and the crispy surface.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n

Picual holds up well in the sofrito for the filling without losing its character, even with the double baking in this recipe, and its bitterness balances the richness of the melted cheese.<\/p>\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>
  • 2<\/span> Medium aubergines<\/span><\/li>
  • 3<\/span> cans<\/span> Tuna<\/span><\/li>
  • 300<\/span> g<\/span> Natural fried tomato sauce<\/span><\/li>
  • 150<\/span> g<\/span> Grated cheese<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> Onion<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> Green peppers<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bd<\/span> Red pepper<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> cloves<\/span> Garlic<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> Picual at Veraison EVOO<\/span><\/li>
  • Salt<\/span> To taste<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

    Instructions<\/h3>
    • Prepare the aubergines.<\/strong><\/span>
      <\/div>Chop the pepper, onion and garlic. Cut the aubergines in half and soak them in salted water for 10 minutes. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Bake them.<\/strong><\/span>
      <\/div>Bake the aubergines at 180 \u00baC (top and bottom heat, fan on) for 40 minutes. Remove them and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, chopping it into pieces. <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/path> <\/line> <\/path><\/g><\/svg><\/span>
      When scooping out the aubergine, work with a spoon from the centre towards the edges so you don’t break the skin.<\/span><\/div><\/span>
    • Make the sofrito filling.<\/strong><\/span>
      <\/div>Saut\u00e9 the pepper in EVOO over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Stir in the aubergine flesh and cook for 10 minutes. Add half of the tomato sauce and the tuna, and cook for 10 more minutes. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • Stuff and gratinate.<\/strong><\/span>
      <\/div>Stuff the aubergines and place them on a tray over a base of tomato sauce. Add the grated cheese and bake again at 180 \u00baC for 10 minutes. <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
      <\/div>\n

      Notes<\/h3>
        \n
      • We chose Picual for its great stability, ideal for frying and saut\u00e9ing. Of our three EVOOs, it has the highest level of polyphenols, which are responsible for that stability. <\/li>\n
      • They can be prepared the day before, leaving only the final gratinating for when you serve them.<\/li>\n
      • It pairs well with a simple green salad to lighten the meal.<\/li>\n
      • If you have leftover filling, it freezes well in portions; it can also be used to stuff peppers or cannelloni.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
