The Happy Pear I personally think you should open the show with: "Yo Dudes! (and the Canuck lady that loves us and our food!") Eh? Eh? 😂 😂 😂 Otherwise I'm chuffed that you made clear that eggplant (as we call it. I personally prefer aubergine tbh), needs to be well cooked. This looks like something I'd love. Everything in the recipe is perfection. But hubby? Not so much. 'sigh' One thing he doesn't like is eggplant, picky thing he is. Otherwise? 'waves at the brothers' you're spot on in flavour.

The Happy Pear PS: do you mean you'll answer comments for the first hour the video is up in your time zone? Or mine here in Canada? 😂 (j/k) I love that you do it at all. I'm often hooting at your replies to me heeheehee. Keep posting, please. My rotation of veggie/vegan meals is expanding greatly because of you two. So thank you!
I made these baked aubergines today - really yummy! I made an accompanying dish with quinoa, chopped hazelnuts, onions, garlic, chilli, s&p, cumin, chopped figs - really good :)
I love that the community of healthy and clean eaters don't "compete" but "collaborate"! I appreciate all of you so much for that! I love your cookbook and these videos are simply THE best and I just keep adding to the list of amazing recipes that make eating well EASY, FLAVORFUL and POSITIVE!
2 Aubergines (Eggplants) 2 tablespoons Miso paste 2 teaspoons soy sauce 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1 glove of garlic Half red chili Thumb off ginger 150g Couscous Mulberry (or any other berry) 150g spinach
I attribute my love of aubergines to my sicilian mama who made amazing aubergine dishes. Parmigiana with homemade tomato sauce - yummy! She also pickled them with garlic, oil and vinegar - the best!!! Grazie for another delightful recipe! ;)
I guess that is what you call an eggplant. I like the dish. Eggplant has always been hard for me to master. I never thought about adding Miso paste to it. I also think the oil is very essential in getting it to come out that way. Now I just got to get me an aubergine.
This is really good. The greens are a little strong on their own, but mix very well with the egg plant. I went off script with the couscous but it came out OK anyway. No mulberries, but I had some dried figs that I was trying to find a use for. I think it would work, but I used too much and it was a little sweeter than i wanted it to be.
Another reason to score the aubergine (eggplant) is to avoid it exploding - which can happen. To cook it "Israeli" style, don't cut it, but score the outside - just make 4 slits lenghth-wise and place it in a hot oven in a baking pan or on tin foil, as the oil will leak out as cooking. The skin of the egg plant will be hard, but the inner "meat" will be soft. Then, take the cooked egg plant and hold it over the burner (must have a flame for this) a few minutes on each "side", you will get a smoky aroma. Remove from flame, cut in half and scoop out the "meaty" part and place on a plate. Prepare tahina: in a small bowl add a few tablespoons of the tahina paste and add some water, slowly, and stir, adding additional small amount of water while stirring until you get a thick dressing consistency. Add some fresh garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and curry powder, lemon juice and mix to taste . To serve, pour the tahina over the egg plant, drizzle with a little bit of olive and enjoy with pita or favorite flat bread.
This was amazing, thank you! I added some dairy free butter / garlic to the marinade as the miso I used was quite bold tasting and I wanted to soften it a bit.
Love this dudes!, I can't wait to make this, new foods added for this month. I have wanted to trying miso for a few days this will be a great way to try it.
Probably not practical for everyone but growing your own aubergines is a good idea for the less-than-enthusiasts...the texture cooked from really fresh is far pleasanter.
"Thai Green Pea" tiny green fruits recommended for Thai dishes...large plant, though...."Ophelia" is a true miniature, though, might be worth a try. Really fresh aubergines don't have that hint of a slimy texture which puts people off. The RHS has full growing instructions for cool climates. Cheers!
Such a unique recipe! Hello from middle eastern fans! 😁👋🏼 vegans in Bahrain love you guys 🇧🇭 I definitely will try this out once I get miso from the store and let you know how it goes!
What if you were to expose the flash on both sides of the eggplant ( sorry from America and it wouldn't pick up the other spell check) and then rub the paste over it and let it marinate overnight and then proceed???
I made this today... very easy to make and delicious BUT with the miso and tamari it was SOOOOO salty... Any ideas to make this a bit less salty please? I made it with quinoa and psysalis ;-)
Any tips when picking aubergines? I always seem to pick the ones that have tons of seeds and I guess that's why they don't taste that good when cooked as they tend to be more bitter for what I've noticed. Thanks for the recipe, looking forward to making it and eat aubergines more often!
Think dots not slots, when shopping for aubergines only pick males - dots, do not choose females or you will have a heap of seeds and tough fibres surrounding them- slots, visible on the rounded end
"We have a tablespoon" "That's a teaspoon" "We have one clove of garlic" "That's two cloves" 😂 lol But I'm not vegan and this meal looks pretty decent tbh
Hmmmmm I might evolve this recipe. It was extremely salty for me (probably because of my miso) and the aubergine was not as silky and it was in the oven for 40 minutes!!
It's just used for binding it to the aubergine, so even a little applesauce would work. PLUS, the sweetness will help counter the saltiness of the miso. *mmmmmmm*
Bianca Eskinazi Cooking sake method sounds delicious! Unfortunately coconut oil is off the menu on the Happy Heart course too (it's a course the Happy Pear runs, based on the low-fat, plant-based work of Ornish, Esselstyn and co., which is designed to lower cholesterol and blood pressure). Thanks for your response.
Well, i'm about to make the dish with basil pesto and a bit additional olive oil instead of miso because i'ma broke lazy fella, lmao. I'll let you know how it turned out in a minute, but yeah, if that sounds horrible to you i'd suggest just asking for it in asian supermarkets, it's not expensive at all, i've seen it for under a euro where i live, i can imagine the video version aubergine marinade is a bit more spicy and flavourful than what i'm fabricating right now.
You can get them in health food stores and in some supermarkets. You can add them to cous cous or they're great with serial, anywhere you need sweetness and something chewy. They are good in salads too.
You could eat the entire aubergine, or store it for leftovers. If you store, the aubergine will steam itself if immediately stored, so you'd have a less crispy but oh-so-much-more creamy dish next time!

I cooked this recipe. It's delicious!!! 😋👍🍴
All elements of this meal look delicious.
That's one more reason for me to love aubergines. I am going to find out if they taste as good as they look.
I love the way you cook and eat with all senses and fingers.
Thats the way it have to be to really enjoy food.
😁👍
Mmmmm...an interesting alternative to preparing eggplant. I can taste it! Thanks much.
I love eggplant! It really does absorb flavors well. I have not tried miso so I am looking forward to trying it! Thanks guys

Love cilantro and that middle eastern style is great love Your french!
That looks amazing~!!!! I had the best eggplant ever while living in Japan. And miso, well, you can't go wrong there!
I've just made this and it was amazing x
Dinner sorted tonight! Well done lads, thanks!
I love aubergine, you guys should do a series of recipes on it. I like it but never know what to do with it.
This was amazing, thank you! I added some dairy free butter / garlic to the marinade as the miso I used was quite bold tasting and I wanted to soften it a bit.
Just made this... With a bit of kimchi on the side. Absolutely banging! Cheers chaps!
Made the eggplant and it was fabulous!
Finally an idea for my brain to make something out of an aubergine! It looks epic! Thx guys!
This is going on next weeks meal plan. You rock!
Love this! Must make!
Cooked this last night for valentine's .. was sooo good!! Thanks guys
Just cooked it, didn't have the best quality miso, but it didn't matter. Bangin' recepie, my first time cooking aubergine, recommended!
Thank you guys!!! Can't wait to make this
Oh eggplant!! I had no idea what an aubergine was! haha!
So many different terms for veg across the pond. zucchini=corgette, cilantro=corriander, arugula=rocket.
Yum love wilted spinach.
What a coincidence, I just made some couscous myself! Added some delicious muhammarah to it!
always finding a way to make eggplant! Cant wait for me to try this!
Flynn twins for the win! "Tanks," lads!
Love this dudes!, I can't wait to make this, new foods added for this month. I have wanted to trying miso for a few days this will be a great way to try it.
Probably not practical for everyone but growing your own aubergines is a good idea for the less-than-enthusiasts...the texture cooked from really fresh is far pleasanter.
Do you need a lot of space to grow them or would a windowsil be a good place?
I would think you could grow them in pots...the plants do get quite big, but there may well be dwarfed varieties...I'll have a look.
"Thai Green Pea" tiny green fruits recommended for Thai dishes...large plant, though...."Ophelia" is a true miniature, though, might be worth a try. Really fresh aubergines don't have that hint of a slimy texture which puts people off. The RHS has full growing instructions for cool climates. Cheers!
Oh wow! I'd love to try this in the near future! Thx, guys! Y'all rock! :)
Yes now that's what I call a dinner!
Not to toot our own horn but it was really fab. :D
Such a unique recipe! Hello from middle eastern fans! 😁👋🏼 vegans in Bahrain love you guys 🇧🇭 I definitely will try this out once I get miso from the store and let you know how it goes!
Couscous with mulberries and spinach yum Can use raisins or currants.
Any dried fruit is perfect. :D
Going to try!
YUMMMMMMM!!!!! : )
This looks so good ❤️❤️❤️
What if you were to expose the flash on both sides of the eggplant ( sorry from America and it wouldn't pick up the other spell check) and then rub the paste over it and let it marinate overnight and then proceed???
Yum! Love eggplants 🍆
Make aubergine bacon with miso yum!
never know what to do with aubergines so i have to try this :D
This was really tasty. 👍 😊
Looks beautiful! :)
Really enjoying that miso there :)
What kind of red chili pepper do you use? We have a wide variety available around here, so it would be helpful to know what you guys use.
Looks delicious! My mum doesn't like couscous though, is there anything else I could use? Would any types of rice work? :)
I made this today... very easy to make and delicious BUT with the miso and tamari it was SOOOOO salty... Any ideas to make this a bit less salty please? I made it with quinoa and psysalis ;-)
Votre accent français est tellement mignon 😏😘

Loving the longer vids, the 5 minute ones were a bit intense for me lol
Solid as!
Making this
"We have a tablespoon"
"That's a teaspoon"
"We have one clove of garlic"
"That's two cloves"
😂 lol
But I'm not vegan and this meal looks pretty decent tbh
Hmmmmm I might evolve this recipe. It was extremely salty for me (probably because of my miso) and the aubergine was not as silky and it was in the oven for 40 minutes!!
Looks really good guys but what’s a Lads?
Their word for "guys". All encompassing us in general. :)
hi fellows. i dont have a convection oven. can i use microwave or a frying pan with the lid on?? student housing you know!
Could you please do Bombay aloo
Any replacement for oil that could make it Happy Heart-friendly? Or should we reserve it for special occasions and use the oil? Thanks!
You can leave the oil out all together, the flavours will still be lovely. :D
Thank you! :-)
It's just used for binding it to the aubergine, so even a little applesauce would work. PLUS, the sweetness will help counter the saltiness of the miso. *mmmmmmm*
That's a great idea! Thanks, Apocalyps!

Must taste insanely good, do you have any substitution for miso ? Can't buy it here :( The only thing I saw was rice miso but it costs a ton.
did you ever try rice miso ? is it any good ? also, are you by any chance from RO ?
RO is the country code but I guess it's a no then :)
Well, i'm about to make the dish with basil pesto and a bit additional olive oil instead of miso because i'ma broke lazy fella, lmao. I'll let you know how it turned out in a minute, but yeah, if that sounds horrible to you i'd suggest just asking for it in asian supermarkets, it's not expensive at all, i've seen it for under a euro where i live, i can imagine the video version aubergine marinade is a bit more spicy and flavourful than what i'm fabricating right now.
what can I use instead of miso?
YO DUDES!!!
The microbiome 😎😎😎 Nice!
We love the microbiome. :D :D
Sai life is all about the microbiome 🖒
The written recipe link is dead...
💕💕💕
I used white miso paste and it was horrible, the top got burnt as i wanted the eggplant to be soft and cooked.
Mulberries where You get them and for What You add them? What Can be made with them?
You can get them in health food stores and in some supermarkets. You can add them to cous cous or they're great with serial, anywhere you need sweetness and something chewy. They are good in salads too.
Health food stores and Amazon. Good on cereal, porridge, in granola, etc. If you can't find, then cranberries, raisins, or any dried fruit will work.
Wow thank you guys! Jesus bless you!
Thanks so much for watching! Let us know if you give it a go. 😄😄
isnt meso seaweed?? how is that mid eastern? i thought it was japanese. or do you guys use something else called miso?
😍😍
If I'm cooking for my lonesome can I do the recipe and keep the leftovers, or should I just divide everything in half and call it a win?
You could eat the entire aubergine, or store it for leftovers. If you store, the aubergine will steam itself if immediately stored, so you'd have a less crispy but oh-so-much-more creamy dish next time!
Apocalyps super cool, thanks!
❤💞❤💞
We call them eggplant
Don't you call courgettes something different too? :D
The Happy Pear we call those zucchini. And we also call Rocket “Augula”
A regional dialect, like Steamed hams. :D
The Happy Pear yes zucchini btw love this channel 🦋
Arugula?
The "r" makes a difference...
but still, those silly euro names for things ;P
first!
WOOHOO! Fair play!!

Aubergine is a fruit, not a vegetable.
