This year, I planted Italian Eggplant seeds from Johnny’s Selected Seeds<\/a>. And boy, did they produce! This recipe was a desperate attempt to find things to do with all those eggplants but has since become one of my favorite plant-based dinner dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While baked eggplant provides the platter for this dish, the true star is what goes inside it. We start with a bed of chewy quinoa, spiced chickpeas<\/a>, and eggplant meat. Then we top it all with a globally inspired tahini, kimchi pepper, and honey sauce that is full of surprising flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These show-stopping stuffed eggplants<\/a> easily take center stage at the dinner table. And they pair perfectly with savory yogurt salad<\/a> and honey roasted carrots<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
