Roast Eggplant With Honey For Ultimate Flavour
During the Lenten season, seafood options always seem to be far too few. We’ve decided to feature at least one seafood or vegetarian option to have you fully satisfied and prepare for your fast. As always, we don’t skimp on the sweet, so look out for an indulgent treat every week !
OVEN-ROASTED SWEET AND SPICY EGGPLANT
Oven-roasted eggplant is the perfect Lent side dish. Roasting the eggplant adds a smoky element while also maintaining the meaty flesh of the melongene.
