I’ve had this recipe in my mind for a while now, as I absolutely love the combination of charred peppers, aubergines, and pesto.
It’s such a delicious mix of flavours which I think tastes like summer and is definitely good on its own, but I thought that layering it would create a fun and quite dramatic meal.
And as I’m totally obsessed with roast cherry tomatoes, I served these yummy gooey stacks on a bed of roast tomatoes.
In fact, the tomatoes create their own sauce as I’ve crushed them with some extra virgin olive oil, salt, chilli and balsamic glaze. Delicious!
I think this is a perfect summery dinner party dish – either on its own as a starter or as a main with some crispy roast potatoes and a big salad.
Enjoy, love Niki xx

Thank you for the nice recipe, I’m making it right now! I was wondering what could be used instead of pine nuts if I don’t have any.
Niki
Of course!
You can use seeds instead xxx

I live in France and haven’t run across balsamic glaze. Can I just sub for balsamic vinegar or should I add something else too? Make a dash of date syrup or something?
Niki
Hi Zeni
Either would work well.
Love, Niki xxx

The recipe calls for “3 nutritional yeast”. I am guessing it is supposed to be 3 tablespoons but I would check with you. Thanks!
