"Nothing but delicious! These mini aubergine/eggplant pizzas are so simple to create & full of flavour!" Low in carbs too ... why not try them soon!

INGREDIENTS:
For the bases…
2 medium aubergines/ eggplants, sliced 1 inch thick
½ cup tomato paste
2 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp himalayan salt
Fresh-cracked pepper
For the toppings…
10-12 olives, pitted and halved
100 g (3.5 oz) mushrooms, sliced
100 g (3.5 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to season

  1. Now those look very tasty. And for a change, most of the ingredients are in the cupboard. Just need the aubergines, something you don't find in all shops.
