Flavorful, low-cal vegetarian dish bursting with goodness.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 small or 1 large eggplants, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 celery sticks, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 tsp harissa paste, to taste
  • 2.50 gm smoked paprika, plus extra, to serve
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 400g can red kidney beans, rinsed, drained
  • Mutti Polpa Finely Chopped Tomatoes 400g
  • 300g (2 cups) steamed white quinoa
  • Steamed broccolini, to serve
  • 90g (1/3 cup) coconut yoghurt
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 170C/150C fan forced. In a large flameproof casserole dish, heat half of the oil over high heat. Stir and brown the eggplant in 2 batches for 3-4 minutes each. Transfer the cooked eggplant to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and celery, stirring frequently, and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, harissa, paprika, and cumin, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the beans, tomatoes, eggplant, and 125ml (1 ⁄2 cup) water. Combine well and bring to a boil.
  • Bake covered for 30 minutes until the eggplant is fork-tender. Serve the quinoa stew on plates alongside broccolini, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of extra paprika.
