Healthy, because
Various plant substances from aubergines help to stop cell aging and protect the heart, i.e. the vegetables keep us young and healthy. In addition, bitter substances contained in the vegetables stimulate the release of digestive juices and thus ensure healthy digestion.
Even smarter
You can replace part of the aubergines with courgettes and get an equally delicious gratin. Also try adding other herbs to the aubergines and tomatoes. Season with thyme, rosemary or fresh basil, for example.
