Cook the garlic for about 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, add the drained tomatoes to a deep bowl. Crush the tomatoes with your hands until broken up. Add the tomatoes and basil to the skillet and simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes until thick. Add some of the reserved liquid from the can of tomatoes if the sauce is too thick.
These Garam Masala Fall Harvest Bowls celebrate the bold flavors and seasonal abundance of fall. Roasted cauliflower, creamy Japanese eggplant, and hearty chickpeas form the base of this nourishing dish, all warmly spiced with garam masala and caramelized to perfection in a hot oven. A simple lemony yogurt sauce adds brightness and tang, while a handful of juicy pomegranate seeds brings bursts of sweetness and color to every bite.

This baked eggplant parmesan recipe has become my go-to version because it brings all that traditional Italian flavor without the mess of frying! I've simplified the process so you can make eggplant parm at home in about an hour. I like this version more than what I can get at a restaurant!
Panera's black bean soup is made with a medley of vegetables, including onions, carrots, celery, red bell peppers, lima beans, and potatoes. Black beans obviously make up the bulk of the soup, while lemon juice and garlic enhance the flavors. The soup has a spicy kick, although the exact ingredients that give it this flavor pop are not publicly disclosed. The Panera at Home version simply lists "spices" on the label.
My mother's greatest fears are an empty fridge and underfed family and friends. At this time of year, that means courgettes, and the usual way I dispatch them is in a shaak (dry curry) or a pilau. Today's dish is a combination of the two: spiced fried courgettes, just shy of melted, tossed through rice with fresh herbs and served with a fancy salted pistachio yoghurt masquerading as a raita.
Many menus I browsed had lots of meat dishes and it initially looked like plant-based options would be few and far between. However, once I asked restaurant staff in person, I was surprised by how accommodating most places were.
"As Yotam Ottolenghi once said here before, a lasagne doesn't have to contain ragu and bechamel. In the broadest sense, lasagne is just a layered pasta dish using various fillings and sauces and, as such, the world is your lasagne."
