You can use a knife to remove the skin, but you can also leave it around the edges for a more rustic look. Cut the aubergines into pieces about 2-3 cm, then put them in a pot of boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes or until soft. After boiling, drain well and leave to cool slightly. 2. Preparing the soybeans: In a separate pot, boil granulated soybeans according to package directions. Usually, you will need to soak it in boiling water for about 10-15 minutes. Once boiled, drain the soybeans and gently squeeze them with a spoon to remove excess water. 3. Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet, add a couple tablespoons of oil and saute diced onion over medium heat until translucent. About 5 minutes should be enough. Add the cleaned and chopped mushrooms and continue sautéing for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly so they don't stick. 4. Preparing the mixture: Once the onions and mushrooms are done, add the broth and drained soybeans. Season with salt, pepper and herbs to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors. 5. Assembly: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray and grease with butter or oil. Place a layer of aubergine at the base, followed by a layer of the soy, mushroom and onion mixture. Slice the salted cheese or cottage cheese and place on top. Continue with another layer of eggplant, forming a delicious 'torte'. 6. Cream sour cream: In a bowl, whisk the sour cream with the egg, a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the eggplant layers in the pan. Top with thinly sliced melted cheese triangles and sprinkle with thyme. 7. Baking: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden and appetizing. Finally, let it cool for a few minutes before serving to set a little. Serving suggestions: Serve this dish warm with a fresh vegetable salad or a side of rice.
