GF Aubergine Parmigiana

As a business that supplies food and drink to the public, it’s incredibly important to offer gluten-free options on your menu, as well as a full allergen card of the menu. People with coeliac disease, and the friends and family they eat with, are worth an estimated £100 million to the hospitality industry. So whether you make an entire gluten-free menu or simply make some tweaks to original dishes, it really is worth investing the time in.

  • 3-4 eggplants (depends on size), trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
