Aubergines...it sounds so sophisticated doesn't it? Any word with a French origin sounds so sumptuous. Anyways, this is not a difficult French recipe. It's easy, healthy and made by Mom!
This recipe is simply WOW! Mom is getting better and better at cooking vegan dishes and I must say this is one of her top best recipes! I just couldn't get enough of it.
The garlic sauce is great also. The lovely flavor blends perfectly with the roasted eggplants.
Way to go Mom!
This recipe is simple, easy and looks great. I love how all the colors blend together. Try it and let me know if you liked it as much as I did. I'm sure you will!
