About this recipe

Eggplant pomegranate salad is simple and healthy and the perfect choice for a light and easy dinner. Eggplant is one of my favourite vegetables. I like it roasted, fried, grilled, and even better smoked over the barbecue. The combination of Eggplant with crumbled feta and the pop and freshness of pomegranate seeds is simply delicious.  This eggplant pomegranate salad could easily replace your dinner or you may want to pair it with some oven-roasted chicken chops or barbecued chicken wings

This post is meant to be a recipe, but I can’t ignore what’s been happening 👉🏽👉🏽The last seven months have been incredibly challenging, watching thousands of innocent Palestinians being slaughtered in the name of self-defence 💔 It’s an excuse to ethnically cleanse the indigenous people of the land. But what I’ve seen in the last 24 hours has absolutely shattered me 😞

Families were told to move for their safety, only to be burnt alive. I forced myself to watch videos of beheaded babies—images that will never leave my mind. The destruction, the horrific scenes, and the screams are etched in our hearts and minds💔

And yet, our government responds with a mere, “It’s concerning.” Our tax money has contributed to the slaughter of these innocent people; our tax money has contributed to funding this genocide. 

I feel heartbroken and helpless. How can the world just watch? How can anyone say, “I’m staying out of this”?

I’m not ok. Are you?
