Serves: 2 pieces
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients 

• Aubergine – Cut in half, 1 piece or 200g

Nutritional Tips

A lot of children love pizza and do not like vegetables … This may be helpful for those who want to eat more vegetables and less energy. Also, this is suitable for gluten-free diets. You can add fresh tomatoes or tomato sauce. But if you are adding them, add it at step no.3. Good calcium intake can be expected from this dish if your children do not like milk or are lactose-intolerant as some cheeses are low in lactose. However, tolerance levels vary depending on the individual. Please seek professional advice for further details.

You can also use any favourite vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflowers, corn, peas, tomatoes and peppers. It works better with less watery vegetables, but you can make it with watery vegetables. Either pre-cook watery vegetables before you prepare the stuffing, or use salt to remove water in advance.
