FOR THE PARSLEY SAUCE 25g/1oz butter 20g/ ¾ oz plain flour 300ml/1/2 pint milk 4tbls cream (optional) 2-3 tbls chopped fresh parsley salt and freshly ground black pepper
First make the parsley sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour; when it froths, stir in half the milk, then beat well until it thickens. Stir in the rest of the milk and keep stirring vigorously over the heat, until the sauce is thick and smooth. Let the sauce simmer over a very low heat for about 7 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn't stick or burn. Then stir in the cream, if you're using this, the parsley and plenty of salt and pepper.
Wash the aubergine and remove the stem. Cut the aubergine lengthwise into slices about
