This bowl of deliciousness is my easy go-to meal when I’m extra hungry and lazy. It is incredibly filling and nourishing. If you are trying to steer clear of chickpeas or legumes more generally, this ‘Paleo’ Baba Ganoush is a great alternative. I use exactly the same recipe as with humus but replace the chickpeas with eggplant. Enjoy!
