Step 3

In the meantime, add the peeled tomatoes to a bowl, sprinkle salt on top and then break them down using a potato masher.

Add the dried oregano, pepper, and fresh basil leaves. Mix it together and add it to the pan (low heat).

Step 5

Add the eggplant strips and leave to simmer for around 40 minutes.

Step 6

Once it is almost ready, grate a handful of ricotta salata into the sauce and let it melt.
