1
Prepare the Aubergine
Slice the aubergine into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
2
Make the Pesto
In a blender, combine fresh basil leaves, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a pesto.
3
Grill the Aubergine
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the aubergine slices with olive oil and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and charred.
4
Cook the Prawns
In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the prawns and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.
5
Assemble the Dish
Layer grilled aubergine slices on a serving platter. Top with slices of mozzarella cheese and cooked prawns. Drizzle with the basil pesto.
6
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
