Chinese Eggplant with Garlic Sauce

If you love a sticky, nourishing, winter warming style of veggie dish – this one hits the spot.  In case you haven’t noticed, over the past few months I have only been sharing plant based recipes , as , frankly – it’s the way of the future.  For our health and the health of our beautiful planet. At my place my fifteen year old daughter Sophie has lead the way. Never being a big fan of red meat anyway, she turned completely vegetarian about a year ago and I totally understood her rationale. So being the main cook in the house, and the one who wields the spoon wields the power – we ALL became vegetarian. Short term there were some grumbles, with the big manly men of the house complaining that they needed more sustenance to run down wildebeests …I mean work in an office/study at uni – all day.  But I held my ground, wore earplugs and eventually the grumbling stopped and veggies, miso, tempeh, tofu and lentils became very much the norm, and now meat seems a bit….well….weird.   Anywho! I hope you like this recipe – to bring the energy down further if you are in calorie deficit replace coconut sugar with stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Read More
