Miso Glazed Eggplant

Serving a delicious miso glazed eggplant says a lot about a person. It says you are sophisticated, cultured, classy and are incredibly gifted in the kitchen (and probably just gifted at life in general). So we are very pleased to bring you this miso glazed eggplant recipe!

Eggplant is a delicious, nutritious member of the nightshade family. It’s high in fibre, antioxidants and a range of essential nutrients like

manganese, B-6, thiamine, potassium and vitamin C. Miso is also an incredibly beneficial food to include in your diet. It’s high in Manganese, B vitamins, vitamin E and K, and being a fermented food it’s a natural probiotic and great for your gut.

The maple, ginger, mirin and salt bring an incredible depth of flavour. Sweet, salty, astringent and umami are all really well balanced - all your taste buds will get involved!

Definitely give this delicious and sophisticated recipe a try. Treat your gut to some wonderfully beneficial fibre and probiotics and impress yourself (and everyone else) with your culinary genius. Enjoy!
