For peeps who don't like mushrooms, eggplant is a terrific substitute in most recipes.

You might also be able to substitute zucchini instead of eggplant (or mushrooms), but it depends. Zucchini is more watery than eggplant so it can become too soft for some dishes. It also doesn't have the same "meaty" bite as mushrooms and eggplant.

Now a Confession: Eggplant was literally one of the very last vegetables I incorporated into my plant-based diet. Prior to being vegan, my only experience with eggplant was eggplant parmesan LOL.

A few years back, noticing how affordable eggplants were, I started buying them up and forcing myself to find ways to use them. Hence where all the new eggplant recipes come from! Enjoy! 🍆
