Easy Vegan Mediterranean Stuffed Eggplant With Tzatziki – a tasty, healthy vegan (WFPB) meal that looks impressive but is really easy to make!

Eggplants/Aubergines are one of my favorite vegetables, as long as they are properly cooked of course; a spongy, undercooked aubergine is a sad thing indeed. These Mediterranean style stuffed eggplants make great use of the vegetable for a meal that is super delicious. It’s easy to make and is really healthy!

The eggplants/aubergines are roasted until tender with some harissa then stuffed with a mixture of perfectly cooked couscous and a couple of other Mediterranean ingredients!
I also like to serve them with my homemade tzatziki. Served with a crisp salad they make a very satisfying and enjoyable meal.




If you don’t like eggplant/aubergine, this recipe is perfect for you! Because you can’t really taste the plain ‘bland’ eggplant here, all you can tase is delicious Morrocan tastes!
