Lentil Quinoa Eggplant Salad. Listen up aubergine-adverse. Here\u2019s an eggplant recipe that fully disguises my favorite purple vegetable. A warm lentil quinoa eggplant salad. The secret is always in the sauce. The trick… peeled eggplant that is slow cooked in a tomato-y sauce with a little chili and cayenne until tender. Okay, of course I could recognise that there is eggplant in this dish, but my favourite Schwabe hat to ask me what was in this delicious tasting dish. He loved it. Here\u2019s to converting the aubergine adverse, one dish at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Delicious warm flavors and freshness in the same bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite thing about this dish is the fresh flavors of green onion, parsley and baby roma tomatoes which are added to this dish at the last-minute. They work wonderfully with the deep smoky flavor of the eggplant and earthy flavor of the lentils. Though, I can also imagine that saut\u00e9ed cherry tomatoes would be a nice addition with their warm, juicy sweetness. The flavors in this dish would also work well with chestnuts. Precooked vacuum-packed chestnuts are available in your local supermarket and have a great way up transforming any dish into something a little more festive for the winter season.

Even though you need three pots for the recipe it\u2019s just as easy as making any one-pot meal. Everything pretty much cooks at the same time. Boil the lentils, boil the quinoa<\/a>, make the sauce – all at the same time, or in advance. And for anyone who is a super organized planner (or thinks this sounds like a juggling act), then you could easily cook the lentils and quinoa hours before, the night before, however you like.
