    Peel the garlic and cut into thin slices. Drain potato water. Add milk and fat. Mash everything to a smooth mash with a potato masher or a strong whisk.

  3. 3

    Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the garlic and take it out. Dab aubergine slices dry with kitchen paper and fry in garlic fat until golden brown. Cut the feta cheese into slices.

  4. 4

    Grease a casserole dish. Pour in mashed potatoes. Alternately layer eggplant slices and feta cheese. Wash 1 chilli pepper, cut into thin rings and remove the seeds. Wash the basil, dab dry and, except for a bouquet for garnishing, pluck leaves from the stalks.

    Sprinkle chilli rings, garlic and basil leaves over the casserole. Garnish with 2 chilli peppers. Push the casserole briefly under the grill until the sheep's cheese begins to brown slightly. Serve garnished with basil bouquets.
