Berenjenas Gratinadas (Aubergines au Gratin)

2 aubergines (eggplant)
olive oil
tomato sauce
10 slices of Jamon Serrano Ham
approx. 150g cream cheese, softened
oregano
salt and pepper
Garnish:
chopped parsley or coriander

Slice the washed aubergines lengthways (about 2 cms in thickness). Sprinkle with some salt and leave for 1 hour. Wrap the aubergines in a paper cloth to absorb excess liquid. Gently fry both sides in olive oil until tender and golden brown.

Place the slices on an oven tray and place a teaspoonful of tomato sauce on each one, then a slice of ham and then cover with cheese.

Sprinkle some oregano or black pepper on top and then place under a grill until the cheese melts. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley or coriander and serve straight away.
