This Dairy Free Aubergine Parmigiana is a fabulous dinner when you’re going meat free – our Aubergine Parmigiana is comforting and delicious. Served warm or at room temperature, Dairy Free Aubergine Parmigiana is tasty and perfect served with rice or a warm baguette and a side salad.
For the Dairy Free Cheese I like the Sheese Mozzarella and the Violife Parmesan as I think they have the best mix of texture (chewy for the Dairy Free Mozzarella) and tart for the Parmesan. This is a pretty easy dish to put together, but do give your Tomato Sauce time to simmer to develop the flavour you really want.
