Loaded Harissa Eggplant

Wow, this was fantastic! I used millet (?? That's what Google translate says 😅) instead of couscous which worked just as well (just needs to cook a bit longer). And I love spicy food and can tolerante quite a bit (for a European 🙃), but I left out the chili flakes bc my harissa paste ist already hot as hell 🥵

Aww this sounds perfect, Daniela! And yes, harissa can definitely bring the heat on its own 😅 Smart call to skip the chili flakes! So glad you enjoyed it 🥰

Amazing as always! Super easy to make and quick if you cut the eggplant in small pieces!

Made it for dinner tonight! Was so easy to make and super delish - will certainly add it to my weekly rotation! I added a few roasted bell peppers as well - was a good addition.

Mmm love the idea of adding roasted bell pepper! So happy it was enjoyed, Sathya ☺️

Absolutely loved it! I added some pepper and more salt but overall really quick and easy to make :)

Amazing ! Beautiful and very tasty

Absolutely loved this recipe, I mealprepped the eggplants, froze them, and then reheated them in the airfryer when I finally got down to making this. The harissa-couscous is very tasty on its own as well. Note: I think there’s an error in the amount of “vegetable” balls given to you in the nutrition section from this recipe, might wanna check this out.

So glad you loved it, Ilyas! 🙌 That’s such a smart idea to meal prep and freeze the eggplants ahead of time. For the nutrition: the values should be accurate, but to clarify, this particular recipe doesn’t include any vegetable balls. Could you kindly send us a screenshot of the suspected error to [email protected] so we can look into it? Thanks so much for flagging it 💛

Super!!

Très bon ! :)

Was missing a few important ingredients (lemon, parsley, mint), it was still very tasty! Unfortunately the eggplant tasted a little watery, maybe it was low quality?

Hello hello, Nike! So glad to hear it was still tasty even without the herbs and lemon. These do add a pop so we'd highly recommend adding them if possible! As for the eggplant, it is meant to be a bit juicy, but if you give this recipe another go, try picking eggplants that are shiny, firm, and feel heavy for their size. They tend to roast up creamier. Some folks also look for “male” eggplants which are said to be less bitter. You can spot them by checking the base: a small, round dimple usually means it’s male. A quick image search for “male vs. female eggplant” can help you spot the difference ✨

Perfect timing for this recipe! 😊
I had two eggplants and leftovers from the meal prep - cooked brown lentils and rice with seitan and vegetables. So I baked the eggplants and prepared the leftovers for the topping. It was really top. 😁 Although I haven't used the actual ingredients, the design was pretty similar 😅
