Aubergine Parmigiana

This vegan aubergine parmigiana recipe is a brilliant vegan alternative to a lasagne made with layers of slow-cooked tomato and aubergine.

“The perfect feel good meal with a hearty tomato sauce and tenderly baked eggplant. We love to make parmigiana on Sundays and eat it after we have gone for a long walk outside.” – Nico & Louise
