Ratatouille, the provencale version (stew like). Eggplant, bell pepper, onion, garlic, zucchini, tomatoes and sometimes olives, I serve with either baguette or rice.

Stole my answer! I just finished off some chana masala as my lunch.

Jerusalem salad is another that’s easy to make and delicious. Falafel and hummus, too.

In a similar vein, look into dalcha! We watch ranveer brar’s recipe on YouTube. He makes it with chicken, but we replace that with potatoes, bottle gourd, and Indian eggplants.

Bon Appetit introduced me to the idea of miso polenta and it’s now a staple for me. Goes amazing with anything. Cheap as fuck. Good as fuck. Dress it with some oil and you can easily make it look like a top class dish. I’ve been fighting to get it on the menu at the vegan restaurant I’m the chef at but polenta is real difficult to serve to order in a reasonable time
