If you love cauliflower as much as I do, you can’t imagine there are people who find cauliflower “difficult”. And then I express myself even mildly, because usually these ‘people’ choose other more expressive terms. The more fun it is if you can tempt them to give cauliflower a fair chance. And then find them admitting that this really is delicious. That happens to me regularly and I am sure that will be the case with this dish as well. And if you already like cauliflower… it’s the right time to go for it.

Eggplant, we know it from casseroles, from pilavs, from baba ganoush. But as the main ingredient of a soup, this vegetable is not so well known. We are going to change that. Because this is a hit. Also very nice in summer.

Kibbeh bil sanieh will bring every Lebanese into heavenly spheres. It is a classic of the Lebanese cuisine that has almost mythical proportions. And for a reason. The lamb mince pie is divine, but yes not vegan. This is a variant that makes a great side dish alongside one or two vegetable dishes. Light, nutritious and tasteful. And beautiful, too. And that’s what you want on your table, right?

Countless cauliflower haters have learned to appreciate cauliflower thanks to this dish. They openly declared this to me. They are overwhelmed by the deliciousness that cauliflower can bring. How great is that, right? The cauliflower is spicy, the eggplant is a wonderfully fresh counterpart and the tomato salsa brings everything together. It’s a surprising combination, but one that stays with you. In a very positive way, that is.
