I've been on a vegetarian meal-kick lately, in part because our farmer's market is so stinking cute and MEAT IS EXPENSIVE. Srsly. Also, I've been feeling kinda mushy and lumpy and apparently red meat can have a hand in that.
Not fried food.
Not boxed wine.
And definitely not cheese.
Listen, I don't judge you, ok?
So anyways, since I'm dating a manorexic man and am trying not to get fat myself while still consuming cheese and wine to excess, this was a great dinner for us the other night. It's so easy and (duh) you can switch the veggies out any way you'd like! It's healthy, too! We're basically making lasagna with no meat or noodles. The amount I made was for 4-6 servings.
Grilled Vegetable Bake
For this dish, you'll need:
- 3 cups marinara sauce (make your own -it's easy! - or use 1 jar - up to you!)
- 1 large eggplant
- 2 bulbs fennel
- 3-5 medium zucchini
- shredded mozzarella cheese
- parmesan cheese
- bread crumbs (optional)







Wow - this looks so tasty...and what patience with all the veggies. Bet it was worth it!
It's not bad if you slice the veggies thin! Totally worth it, too. Promise!
Im doin' it tonight!
Let us know how it turns out!
This is a hit every time. I have used it to win over hardened members of the "I Hate Zucchini" club, and the beach ladies liked my "three sheets" version. At least they said they did.
Three sheets? That sounds like it should be made with vodka sauce....
