Eggplant and soy sauce side dish (가지나물)
Gaji-namul is a simple, delicious, everyday Korean side dish, meant to be eaten with other side dishes and rice.
It’s one of my favorites. I love the fresh taste, soft texture, and the beautiful vibrant purple color of the dish on the table. It's refreshing and goes well with oilier items to offset their texture and taste. I never get tired of it!
If you are a vegetarian, replace the fish sauce with soy sauce.

Roasted Eggplant with Spiced Lamb and Olive Salad
This recipe is one of my all time favourites. It is hearty and filling with beautiful flavours from the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
Roasted sweet Eggplant topped with warm Lamb, a sensationally zippy Lemon Yogurt, and Olive Salad. This is the perfect dish for a dinner party as it comes together very quickly and is an epic crowd pleaser :)

WHOLESOME QUINOA NOURISH BOWL with Asian Dressing | High Protein Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas
Wholesome Quinoa Nourish Bowl with Asian Dressing. High Protein Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas perfect for meal prep/planning.
???? Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa recipe.
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (Servings 3 to 4 servings)
???? To Cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Toasted Quinoa (I have used tri-colour quinoa)
1+1/4 Cup / 300ml Water
???? Other Ingredients:
1 Cup / 125g Red Bell Pepper - thinly sliced
1 Cup / 100g Purple Cabbage - Shredded
1 Cup / 100g Carrot - Cut into julienne strips
1 Cup / 150g Cucumber - cut into small pieces
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Green Onion - chopped
1/2 Cup / 15g Cilantro (Coriander leaves) - chopped
1/2 Cup / 65g Toasted Peanuts
???? SALAD DRESSING:
3 Tablespoon Lemon Juice OR TO TASTE
1 Teaspoon Ginger - Grated or minced
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic - Grated or minced
2 Tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
2 Tablespoon Maple syrup
2 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil or to taste
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Salt to Taste (I have added 1/4 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
▶️ METHOD:
Start by chopping the vegetables and set it aside.
Toast the quinoa on medium to medium-heat (depending on the heat of your stove) for about 2 minutes or until the seeds starts to crackle and releases it's nutty aroma. By now your kitchen should be filled with this toasty nutty aroma :)
IMMEDIATELY transfer the toasted quinoa to a sieve - spread it out and allow it to cool down completely.
???? PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE the toasted quinoa in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
???? Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
Once the quinoa has cooled down, wash it thoroughly, then tranfer it to a wide pan and add the water. Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked. DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY, that will ruin the dish. As soon as the quinoa is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and spread it our evenly and allow it to cool down completely.
To prepare the dressing add lemon juice, grated/minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, olive oil, salt and cayenne pepper to a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and set it aside.
By now the quinoa would have cooled down, if not, wait till it completely cools down. Add the bell pepper, purple cabbage, carrot, cucumber, red onion, green onion, cilantro and peanuts to the mixing bowl with quinoa. Stir the dressing again to make sure everything is well incorporated. Then add the dressing to the quinoa/veggies and mix well.
You can eat it right away, BUT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL THE SALAD IN THE REFRIDGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and it tastes so good cold
This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning - it stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, if stored well in an airtight container.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Toasting the quinoa adds a nutty flavour to this dish and also makes it easy to digest - it serves the same purpose as soaking
???? Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, reduce the heat
???? Once the quinoa is toasted, right away transfer it to a sieve or a plate for it to cool down. Please DO NOT LEAVE IT in the hot pan, otherwise it may end up burning
???? Wash the toasted quinoa, only when it has completely cooled down
???? Regarding cooking the quinoa, do not let the quinoa get mushy. Cook for 10 minutes or just until quinoa is cooked but still holds it's shape
???? After you mix the dressing with the quinoa and veggies, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CHILL IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE SERVING. This will allow the flavours to blend and tastes so good cold
???? This recipes is perfect for meal prep / meal planning, as it stores in the refrigerator for up to 4 days - if stored well in an airtight container

Eggplant Chickpea/Garbanzo Stew Recipe ???? Tasty + Easy to Make Vegan Stew in One Pot!
Chickpeas, or garbanzo, beans have been grown and eaten in the Middle East for thousands of years.
➡️ Let me show you a recipe on how to use this ingredient to create a tasty and easy-to-make vegan stew.
In this recipe, I used roasted eggplants and mixed them with fried onions, red and green bell peppers, a can of drained chickpeas, and more.
The eggplant compliments this dish as an excellent source of antioxidants to add to the fiber, protein, and iron from the chickpeas.
➡️ This wholesome vegan recipe is quick and easy to make with very simple ingredients you can serve to the whole family.
Not only is it healthy, but it’s a one-pot recipe, so you can keep your kitchen tidy and maximize space if you only have one burner!
???? What other chickpeas dishes do you like? (Aside from hummus!) Let me know in the comments below.
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (4 to 5 servings)
3 to 4 tablespoons Light Olive Oil for fry the veggies
400g /4 Cups approx. Eggplant - chopped
200g / 1 +1/2 Cup approx. Onion - thinly sliced/chopped
200g / 1 +1/2 Cup approx. Red bell pepper - chopped
200g / 1 +1/2 Cup approx. Green pepper - chopped
1 Tablespoon Garlic - finely chopped - (4 to 5 garlic cloves)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml can) Cooked Chickpeas
1/4 Ground cumin
1/4 Paprika
1/4 Cayenne pepper
Salt to taste (I have added total 1+1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
125ml / 1/2 cup Strained Tomatoes / Passata / Tomato Puree
200g/ 1+1/4 Cup approx. Fresh Tomato - chopped
125 ml / 1/2 Cup water
Garnish:
Ground Black Pepper (I have added 1/2 teaspoon black pepper)
1/2 cup / 20g Parsley - finely chopped
Drizzle of Olive oil (I have added 2 tablespoon of organic cold pressed olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
FRYING THE EGGPLANT: To a heated pan add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, chopped eggplant, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and fry on medium high to high heat until it is nicely browned. We are trying to get rid of the moisture from the eggplant and roasting it at the same time so DO NOT cook on low heat otherwise the eggplant will turn mushy. Once roasted, remove from the pan and set aside.
To the same pan add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil, onion, red and green bell pepper and fry on medium-high heat until the onion starts to caramelize/softens and the peppers are nicely fried and slightly charred.
Now add the cooked/drained chickpeas, chopped garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and fry the chickpeas on medium-high heat for another 3 minutes or until the chickpeas are nicely fried.
At any point if you notice the pan is getting over heated reduce the heat.
Add the strained tomatoes, roasted eggplant, fresh chopped tomatoes, water and mix well. Bring it to a boil and cover and cook on medium low heat for about 20 minutes. Once cooked uncover and turn the heat to medium high. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the stew slightly thickens. Turn off the stove and garnish with freshly ground black pepper, parsley and olive oil.
Mix well and serve it with your favourite kind of flatbread and a green side salad.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- DO NOT fry the eggplant on low heat otherwise the eggplant will turn mushy
- Make sure to fry the onion, red and green bell pepper in enough oil (I added 2 tablespoons of oil) until it starts to caramelize/softens and the peppers are nicely fried and slightly charred. This process adds a of lot flavour to the dish so take the time and fry it well
- Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated reduce the heat
