2 eggplant sliced thickly

2 cans chopped tomatoes (or 2 cans plum tomatoes, drained and chopped)
1 tsp. dried oregano

Method
1. Fry slices of eggplant until soft, remove and drain, add onion/garlic to pan and fry until soft, add tomatoes and herbs and simmer gently for 10 – 15 minutes until thickened. Season. Meanwhile preheat oven to 180º/350ºF. Wilt the spinach by placing in a large colander or sieve and running just boiled water through it, drain well.
2. Using a deep ovenproof dish, layer half of the eggplant with half the tomato sauce, top with half spinach and half the Blue Cheese, crumbled.
