Method
Cut the aubergine into 1.5 cm cubes (the "little mushrooms"). Salt them lightly and let them sit in a colander for 10 minutes, then pat dry. Dice the mozzarella and drain it on kitchen paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the aubergine (and the garlic, if using) and fry for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until golden and soft.
Add the tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon, and cook for 6 minutes until the sauce is thick and the aubergine is creamy.
Scatter the mozzarella on top, cover and leave for 2 minutes off the heat until it softens and melts.
Tear the basil over the pan and serve hot.
