Did you know that some of my popular recipes contain cauliflower, aubergine, and chickpeas?
I’ve combined them all here… roast cauliflower and aubergine, a rich and smoky red pepper stew with chickpeas and of course a big flatbread.
The benefits? It’s delicious, packed with veggies, and the combination of chickpeas and whole grains means it’s a complete plant based protein.
On that subject, what do you think about a vegan diet and getting enough protein?
It’s interesting, as I’m pretty vigilant about including pulses, nuts, and seeds within most of my meals, but some blood analysis I had whilst in Thailand indicted my protein was on the low side.
Definitely something for me to look into more, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this delicious meal. Much love, Niki xx

I’ve never rated a recipe before, but I really love this one – it’s delicious. It’s also so easy to make that since I tried it a couple of months ago, I’ve used it several times including once for a large party. I particularly loved learning how to make my own flatbreads – something I’d never have done without this recipe, as I hadn’t realised it was so easy – and they taste so good. Thank you!

Hi Ginny
So happy to hear that!
And homemade flatbreads are a game changer! xx

This was actually quite good! And the recipe was easy to follow. I served it with sumac sprinkled garlic yogurt. Thank you for the inspiration 🙂

Hi Zara!
My pleasure, sounds good! xxx
Emma
Hi could you please tell me how you assemble the dish?
Niki
Hi Enma
As you wish, but I top the stew with the roast veg.

Lauren
Can you make the flat breads using a gluten free flour?
Claire
Hey, I used Doves Farm Self raising flour instead of the baking powder and strong flour. Worked a treat!
Niki
Hi Lauren
Definitely, you can swap for buckwheat flour 🙂
Love, Niki xxx

Hi Niki, I hear you on the protein front and although I’d prefer to get all my nutrition from whole plant foods, I do supplement daily with a vegan protein powder smoothie, packed with berries, nuts and spinach, to make sure I’m getting the protein I need and to keep me full until lunch x

Hi Sharon
I think thats really interesting. I feel the same, I definitely try to get it from my diet but sometimes a good quality protein powder is very useful.
Love
