Eggplant and Tomato Bake
Eggplant and Tomato Bake
"One of my favourite veggies is eggplant, and course, eggplant pairs so well with tomato! This eggplant tomato bake makes the perfect side dish for grilled chicken, even though it could easily become the main dish.What I love about summer is the abundance of fresh produce and not to mention the low prices compared to winter time. This dish takes a bit of preparation but is so worth it. This dish starts with a layer of caramelized onions and yellow bell peppers (you can use any colour)."
