Baked Eggplant Steaks With Quick Tomato Sauce
Serves 4
Vegan Recipe Eggplant is a great vegetarian alternative to meat as it has a
hearty firm texture that holds up well to many cooking methods. This version has
thick cut slices topped with a zesty tomato sauce. The addition of fennel seed will
give a spicy flavor reminiscent of Italian cooking.
