This tasted really great! The aubergine cooked really well like this too, I have a hit and miss relationship with cooking those. And it was perfect with a glass of red wine! 🍷

I often have tofu on hand and this looks like a great recipe to try with it. Thank you!

I've never been the biggest fan of aubergine but this recipe looks really nice and I like the idea of the tofu ricotta 😀😀😀

This was delicious! A definite make again and again... :) I'm not a big tofu fan either. I liked the way you cooked the eggplant, no need to babysit.
