This was a winning recipe and something I will make again. I did not have the fresh parsley; however, did have fresh basil and with all the garlic I went ahead and substituted the fresh basil. It was served on top of recipe #162765 as suggested with a side salad for a delicious and healthy meal. Made for *Aussie Swap*

Easy to make and very tasty. Instead of Parmesan, I added a drop of Balsamic and another of lemon juice which softened the aubergine nicely without affecting the flavor too much. Also I lightened up the oil using equal quantities of sunflower and olive which is sacrilege I know but I still preferred it that way.
