Eggplant Goulash

I love some eggplant. I’m constantly trying new ways to cook with eggplant and this recipe hits the spot. Its a stewy, hearty comfort dish that is VEGAN. Sometimes its nice to have a break from meats and focus on some delicious vegetables. Eggplants are so filling and PERFECT for stews.

Its beginning to be the season for SOUPS and STEWS! Whats better than a nice warm meal during the cooler months? I am so happy to share this recipe with you.

Enjoy!!
