Think roasted tomato sauce, roasted veggies, and glorious melted cheese &#8230; this parmigiana delivers all the comfort of lasagne or pizza, without the gluten and meat. Serves four to six.<br \/>\n<strong><em>You\u2019ll need:<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n30-45ml olive oil (plus extra), 2 medium-large aubergines, cut into 1cm slices, with end stubs removed, 400g courgettes, cut in half lengthways and trimmed, salt &amp; pepper to taste, 2 or 3 cloves garlic, finely grated, 660ml tomato passata, 30ml (2 Tbsp) tomato paste, 5ml (1 tsp) dried origanum, 10ml (2 tsp) sugar; 2 to 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, fresh basil leaves for serving.<br \/>\n<strong><em>To make:<\/em><\/strong> Heat the oven to 220\u00b0C. Brush a large baking sheet (or 2 medium sheets) with oil, then arrange the slices of aubergines and courgettes in a single layer.<br \/>\nBrush the vegetables lightly with more oil, season with salt &amp; pepper, then roast for about 15 minutes until soft and the edges start to brown slightly. Remove from the oven and set aside.<br \/>\nIn the meantime, add 30ml of olive oil and garlic in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring for a minute.<br \/>\nAdd the passata, paste, origanum and sugar, and season with salt &amp; pepper, stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.<br \/>\nLower the oven to 200\u00b0C.<br \/>\nTo assemble, place a layer of roasted vegetables in the bottom of a deep medium oven dish, top with half the sauce and half the mozzarella and parmesan, then repeat with a second layer of everything, ending with parmesan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Remove and serve hot, scattered with fresh basil leaves.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The wine &#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nWith a robust bouquet of violet intermingling with ripe blackberries and cherries and accented with graphite notes, Spier\u2019s 21 Gables Pinotage is a match made in heaven for the robust flavours of this parmigiana. On the palate, it mirrors the dish\u2019s decadence with its full-bodied nature, generous ripe Black Forest cake-like flavours, and velvety, dense tannins for a surprisingly opulent finale.

With this in mind, the preparation of this dish has been kept simple, allowing the excellent flavour of the meat to take centre stage. This is the perfect dish for a shared celebration meal for two.<br \/>\n<em><strong>You\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nFor the aioli: 2 XL egg yolks, 10ml Dijon mustard, 1 small garlic clove, a few drops of truffle oil, 30ml (2 Tbsp) fresh lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), a pinch of salt, about 100ml canola oil.<br \/>\n<strong><em>For the sage salted fries:<\/em><\/strong> 30ml (2 Tbsp) salt flakes, 3 to 4 sage leaves, finely chopped, 2 to 3 cups oven-bake potato fries, cooked to your liking, for serving.<br \/>\n<strong><em>For the steaks:<\/em><\/strong> About 500 to 600g mature Chateaubriand steak at room temperature, 60ml butter, 2 to 3 sprigs thyme, 1 clove garlic, bruised.<br \/>\n<strong><em>To make:<\/em><\/strong> Start with the aioli. Add the yolks, mustard, garlic, truffle oil, lemon juice, and salt to a cup that fits a stick blender. Blend briefly with a stick blender, then add the oil in a thin stream while blending continuously. Continue mixing and adding the oil until you have a thick mayonnaise.<br \/>\nIn a pestle &amp; mortar or small blender, blend the salt and sage until you have a pale green herb salt. Set aside. Before serving with the steak, bake your fries until golden brown, then season with the sage salt as soon as they come from the oven.<br \/>\nPreheat the oven to 180\u00b0C.<br \/>\nUse kitchen string to tie the steak into a neat thick round so it doesn\u2019t flap open, then season both sides with salt and pepper.<br \/>\nHeat a skillet to the smoking point, add the butter and thyme and immediately add the steak. Char on each side until crusty (about 3 minutes a side), then carefully transfer the skillet to the oven to cook for 7 to 10 minutes, depending on your preference.<br \/>\nRemove from the oven and transfer the steak to a plate for resting at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve hot with the sage salted fries and aioli on the side.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The wine &#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nWith this dish, we\u2019d serve the 21 Gables Cabernet Sauvignon, a classic and perfect with the richness of the steak. With a sumptuous, aromatic profile of cassis and violet with a hint of cedar and pencil lead, this full-bodied and concentrated wine has a smooth finish, making it a perfect match for this exceptional dish.
