Stuffed Aubergine with a Miso Glaze
I decided to create this recipe for Veganuary. I’ve been seeing a lot of people make miso aubergine, but as a vegetable, I find aubergines quite bland and knew I wouldn’t be able to just use a glaze on an aubergine. I knew I needed something more, something with a deeper flavour to bring out the delicate taste of miso. This blend of flavours and fresh vegetables is just perfect for Veganuary and works well as a meal for lunch or dinner and a great source of all nutrients

- 2 medium aubergines
For the filling
- 4.38oz cooked rice

In a saucepan heat together the ingredients for the glaze on a medium heat until a glaze is formed
Step 3
Halve the aubergines and scoop out the inside of these, ensuring to leave a 1” thickness on the edges of the aubergines

Whilst the aubergines are cooking, assemble together in a bowl the rice, parsley, lentils, halved cherry tomatoes and chopped chilli’s. Drizzle with olive oil
