Stuffed & grilled vegetable bites
Stuffed & grilled vegetable bites are a very interesting and delicious dish, completely plant-based and 100% plant-based! Thin sheets of vegetables such as eggplant or cincini are rolled with a savory filling of tofu, breadcrumbs, and spices. Then it is stabbed and burned until a beautiful, fragrant burnt mark appears. Without meat or animal products, each bite provides a combination of a soft, slightly crunchy outer texture with a dense, savory, spice-scented filling. Perfect for a party snack, a classy appetizer or a side dish that everyone will love!
