INGREDIENTS
1 eggplant (150g)
125g tempeh
75g chickpeas
1 tbsp olive oil
0.5 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1-inch thick steaks and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the eggplant steaks with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the mixed fresh herbs.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are crispy and the centers are tender.
While the eggplant roasts, cut the tempeh into small cubes. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sear the tempeh cubes until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the chickpeas to the skillet and heat through, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl. If needed, add a splash of water to achieve a drizzling consistency.
Once the eggplant steaks are done, plate them and top each with the warm tempeh and chickpea mixture. Drizzle the tahini-lemon dressing over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of crispy texture and savory, herbal flavors.
