- 2 aubergines
- 1 pck store bought filo pastry
- ½ cup home made or store bought tomato sauce

- On a chopping board, lay out one sheet of the filo pastry and brush with olive oil. Top with another and repeat and continue until you have four oiled sheets on top of each other.Cut these into 12 squares.
