Another day in January and it’s cold and gray. Do you also know the feeling of always being cold? My husband is also sitting here right now in a t-shirt and doesn’t appear to be cold. I, on the other hand, need a blanket and hot tea as standard equipment when I sit down at my desk. Well, what to do is the question? Putting on a snowsuit may not be the answer either, so in the winter I love warm, nourishing Dishes for body and mind. This oriental-inspired Eggplant -pan is exactly of this variety and I could just lie down in it.

Of course I think with this Court also again to all who have little time. Then preheat your oven to 215 degrees, so that the Eggplant can roast immediately before itself. This is also the first crucial step in this Court . Eggplant halve, cut into rough pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix with a small amount of frying oil and sea salt and put in the oven. Perhaps you are now thinking, I can also fry the eggplant in a pan? You can, of course, but unfortunately you won’t get the roasted flavors from the oven with it. In addition, the eggplant gobbles up a lot of oil when it is fried in the pan and we like to save that.
Frying oil, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, nutmeg, tomato pieces, chickpeas, coconut blossom sugar, harissa paste, a little water to dilute and a pinch of sea salt to taste. The list of ingredients is ready.
If you do not want to lose time, you can Quinoa or precook rice in advance. This saves an incredible amount of time and you can quickly and easily prepare the most delicious dishes. For example, I’m thinking of my Chocolate Quinoa Bowl , Meatballs or the Creamy Korma Curry .
Are you also an eggplant lover?
Personally, I have always loved eggplants. They remind me of the delicious antipasti I used to eat with my parents on vacation in Italy. Pickled in extra virgin olive oil, a dream. At the time, I didn’t think about whether eggplants were actually healthy? But today I am even more interested in it and I have summarized the most important facts for you. Eggplants are:
- Very low in calories with only 17 kilocalories per 100g
- Contain vitamins of the B group, vitamin C (especially in the shell) and vitamin C.
- Rich in fiber
They are especially delicious when you roast them in the oven. Then return to the pan, stir once, serve and enjoy.
I sprinkle on some extra sunflower seeds to give the dish an extra nutritional boost. For those who are even more interested in the nutrient content in quinoa, you can for this recipe read up a bit more.
