Aubergine, Potato and Tofu Casserole
This is a very simple but delicious rustic one pot dish. Cook over a campfire or slightly less adventurously in a tagine, claypot or casserole. Its low in fat but high in flavour. The vegetables have a roasted taste with just a few sprays of oil and the stock reduces to a delicious sauce. The black skins of aubergines contain the powerful (cell membrane protecting) antioxidant nasunin.
