Mozzarella and Aubergines in carrozza

Mozzarella and aubergines in carrozza

Now, this mozzarella and aubergines in carrozza is a dish that I never tasted before I made it. It all started when one day when I was watching an Italian cooking show on TV. The chef showed how to make this dish and I just thought it must be really good! Slices of aubergines and mozzarella together and then fried? How good does that sounds? First of all, anything fried it always tastes good. Not so healthy but we have to admit that makes everything taste better… So I had to try it… When I started the recipe, by boyfriend told me that it’s quite a common dish in Italy. And that there’s another version where we use bread slices instead of aubergine. sound good too, no? But this time I went along with the recipe I’ve seen on TV.

I am not sure exactly how it should taste but I manage to make it look like the ones the TV chef made 🙂 And I liked the end result. The aubergines and tasty and the cheese just melts when you cut into it. Really nice… you have to give it a go 🙂
