About

As a dinner post, I would like to share a recipe I created last week. It actually was an inspiration based on a whim but those are the best, I hear. It consists of layering and grilling vegetables, but overall it is a quick weekday meal.

Since there is no meat or fat, your fat comes from the veganaise. You will have 1/2 cup of coulis left for another use. This was surprisingly scrumptious and I hope to make it again!
