Directions
If you are looking for a tasty plant-based meal because you are running out of ideas, try my eggplant tofu lasagna.
Do you love lasagna but don't wan't the carbs or the dairy? Eggplant, tofu, and chunky salsa are the ingredients in this weight watcher friendly main course.
I sliced the eggplant using a mandolin which yielded nice thin slices of eggplant and then I set the slices aside. I then sauteed sliced onions and slabs of tofu in a little olive oil. Finally, I opened a jar of organic chunky salsa and layered everything to make a gluten-free, dairy-free, noodle-free lasagna which sliced beautifully.
How did it taste? Fabulous!
It was delicious bubbling hot right from the oven and it was delicious cold the next day.
My favorite salsa is organic chunky salsa from Aldi. It has lots of onions, tomatoes, peppers, etc. and comes in mild, medium, or hot.It tastes great with the eggplant and the tofu and onions.
