      • 1 tbsp olive oil

      Deglaze the paprika vegetables in the pan with white wine and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and rosemary. Drizzle with a dash of olive oil and carefully puree in a suitable container with a hand blender.

      • parmesan

      Serve the aubergine towers on top of the pepper sauce and with ground Parmesan.
