1 tsp. caster sugar (optional)
250 g pack mozzarella, cut into small chunks

Instructions
1. Brush the aubergine/eggplant slices with 1 1/2tbsp of the oil and season. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry aubergine slices for 3-5min on each side, until nearly softened – you will need to do this in batches.2. Heat remaining oil in a large pan and gently fry onion for 10min, until softened. Add the sausage meat in small chunks and cook for 10min until browned all over. Stir in the garlic and thyme; cook for 1min. Add tomatoes, sugar and plenty of seasoning.
3. Bring to boil and simmer for 15min, until thickened slightly.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Arrange 1/3 of the aubergines in a layer in the base of a deep 23 x 30.5cm ovenproof dish. Spoon over 1/3 of the tomato sauce, then dot over 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat twice more, then sprinkle over the Parmesan.
5. Cook for 30-35min, until golden and bubbling. Serve with a green salad.
Prepare to end of step 4. Cool completely, wrap in clingfilm and freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, defrost overnight in fridge. Complete step 5, cooking for an additional 10min if needed.

For some reason my freezer stopped staying cold (until I unplugged and replugged it in) while we were away. I don't know long the food was thawed out, so it wasn't worth the risk of eating it. I say that because I had to throw out a yummy lasagna. Yours looks so good. Happy start to the new week.
This sounds very tempting.
I have never heard of Tumbet but it looks delicious. I wonder if you used floury potatoes if they'd soak up the juices? I love potatoes! Thanks for the recipes and Bon Appetit! Debbie
That would be nice, Jan.
Not for me, though the Hairy Biker's vegetarian dish sounds good.
So delicious! -Christine cmlk79.blogdpot.com
I haven't had aubergines for a while and this looks a very tasty way to enjoy them.
It's a while since we had sausages, or aubergines even. Great recipe.
God bless, Jan..
Oh wow! This sure looks yummy, and pretty simple to make. Thanks so much for the recipe. Have a great week!🙂

This Sausage and Aubergine Lasagne looks absolutely delicious! I love the idea of using aubergine instead of traditional pasta; it’s such a great way to add more veggies to the dish. Plus, the combination of sausage and cheese sounds heavenly. Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oh I would absolutely eat this.
Buena receta. Muchos besos.
