25 g Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Oil for frying

Preheat the grill to high. Heat a griddle pan.

1 Melt the butter and start to gently fry the onions. De-seed and finely
chop the chilli. Add to the onions with the sugar and leave to cook for
about 10-15 minutes.

2 Slice the aubergine crossways to give four slices about 1cm/ 1/2" thick.
Slice the courgette into slices on the diagonal.

3 Pour approximately 2 tbsp oil into a large bowl. Add the vegetables,
season and toss well until all are coated in oil.

4 Place on the hot griddle pan and cook for five minutes on each side,
turning once.

5 For the Pancake Batter: Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a
bowl. Make a well in the centre and break in the egg. Whisk in the egg and
milk until smooth.

6 Grate the Parmesan and stir into the batter. Heat a large heavy-based
frying pan and add a little oil.

7 Ladle in the mixture, spreading it out to approximately 10cm/4" round.
Make two pancakes.

8 Cook on one side for 30 seconds to a minute. Then when the base is set,
use a wooden spatula to flip each pancake over and cook the other side for
1-2 minutes until cooked through.

9 Place the goat's cheese onto an oiled baking sheet, slice-side up. Season
and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and bubbling.

10 Place one pancake on a serving dish, spread with the onion mixture, pile
the griddled vegetables on top and cover with the other pancake.

11 Slide the hot melted cheese on top using a spatula. Finish with a sprig
of basil.
