This comforting and nourishing meal of Spicy Aubergine & Tofu in Black Bean Sauce uses a variety of spices and flavours, like grated ginger, Thai red chilli and chilli flakes, to make a warm and hearty, yet healthy, dish. This delicious recipe is vegan, so it’s suitable for all.

Add some spice and excitement to your aubergines and tofu chunks by cooking them with a rich selection of spices and seasoning. Along with some of my favourite spices, this recipe uses a variety of different flavours, like gluten free soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and coconut sugar, to make a delicious main meal. This Spicy Aubergine & Tofu in Black Bean Sauce is also great for protein – black beans are an excellent source of vegan protein.
