Here is a lovely recipe from The Happy Pear, Ireland. If we can all increase our vegetable intake to 5-6 serves daily, we will drastically reduce the chronic disease rates in our hospitals. True story!

Here is one of the tastiest dinners we have made in a while. A super tasty version of the Italian classic - ‘Aubergine parmigiana’ (eggplant parmigiana in the US) - it is vegan, gluten free, low FODMAP so great for your digestion and banging with flavour!!
It is similar to lasagna except thin slices of melt in your mouth aubergine and sweet potato are used in place of the pasta. Link to the recipe and video of how to make it https://thehappypear.ie/recipes/aubergine-parmigiana-easy-digestion-recipe/
It was so tasty we ate pretty much the full tray of 6 portions between the 2 of us yesterday!! 👍🏼😄💚
