Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Roast the eggplant beforehand for deeper smoky flavor.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice at the end for brightness.
  • Crumbled tofu can be replaced with 2 flax eggs for binding.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with warm bread or a simple grain like quinoa for a complete meal; a side of cucumber-teta salad adds freshness.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
