INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (≈300g)
300g Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Chickpeas (≈82g)
1 tbsp Tahini
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant roasts, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and cut it into cubes. Optionally, you can season the tofu lightly with salt and pepper.
In a nonstick pan over medium heat, sauté the tofu cubes for about 6-8 minutes until they develop a golden, crispy exterior.
In a small bowl, combine the tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth drizzle; if desired, add a small splash of water to achieve your preferred consistency.
Gently warm the chickpeas in a pan or microwave for a minute or two. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the dish by layering the roasted eggplant, sautéed tofu, and chickpeas on a plate. Drizzle the garlic tahini sauce evenly over the top.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley and a crack of black pepper before serving.
