INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1 medium Zucchini (196g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (120g)
2 medium Tomatoes (246g total approx)
1 small Red Onion (70g)
3 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
3 oz Extra-Firm Tofu (85g)
2 large Eggs
Fresh Basil (5 sprigs)
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the eggplant, zucchini, red bell pepper, tomatoes, and red onion into roughly uniform pieces. Mince the garlic.
On a large baking sheet, toss the chopped vegetables and garlic with olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even caramelization.
While the vegetables roast, cut the extra-firm tofu into small cubes and lightly pan-sear them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden on all sides (about 5 minutes).
In a separate pot, poach the eggs until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, roughly 3-4 minutes, or to your desired doneness.
Gently mix the roasted vegetables with the pan-seared tofu and folded-in chickpeas.
Plate a serving of the vegetable mixture and top with the poached eggs. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of warm, roasted flavors with a protein boost.
