- Place the sliced eggplants in a colander, sprinkle with about a tablespoon of salt and toss well. Let drain 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frypan and cook the onion 5 minutes until soft. Add the oregano, basil, mushrooms and tomato pasta sauce. Simmer 10 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
- Rinse the eggplant slices and dry on paper towels. Place on a baking tray and brush with remaining oil. Grill under high heat 10 minutes, turning once.
- Arrange 3 lasagne sheets in the bottom of a greased ovenproof dish. Spoon on 1/3 of the tomato sauce, then 1/3 of the eggplant and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat twice more.
- Cover with foil and bake at 190 degrees C for 45 minutes. Remove the foil after 20 minutes so the top can brown.
