Grilled aubergine pilaf
This grilled aubergine pilaf is not really an authentic recipe as the rice and the vegetables are cooked separately. But this way you can use up leftover rice or grilled veggies. Anyway, it’s vegan, healthy, filing and lovely – perfect for lazy lunches. Serve it with tahini sauce.
