- for the parsley pesto
- 2 garlic (crushed)
- 1 ¼ cups parsley
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation steps
1.
To make the pesto, whiz the garlic, parsley and olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the Pecorino and season. Place the Parmesan cubes in a bowl and pour over ½ of the pesto, leaving the rest aside for the aubergines. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
2.
For the carpaccio, rub generously with the olive oil and the remaining parsley pesto marinade and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3.
Preheat a griddle pan until very hot. Grill the eggplant slices on medium-high heat until lightly charred on both sides. Set aside to cool.
4.
To serve, arrange the aubergine slices on a serving platter, top with the marinated Parmesan and drizzle with extra parsley pesto.
