Method
- Heat oven to 200°C. Place the eggplants for the baba ganoush on a baking tray and bake until soft, about 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, place the tempeh cubes for the tempeh manis on another tray lined with baking paper and bake in the oven until golden brown and crisp, about 30 mins.
- Remove eggplants from the oven and let cool. When cool, peel them and place the flesh in a mixing bowl.
- Place the Lebanese bread triangles on a baking tray, place in the oven and cook until golden brown and crisp.
- To make the baba ganoush, add the tahini, garlic, lemon, salt, paprika and cashew sour cream to the prepared eggplant. Stir with a fork until relatively smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and lemon if needed and set aside.
- Now for the tempeh manis. Heat a wok on high heat, add garlic, shallots and chillies and sauté until aromatic.
- Add tomatoes and cook until soft.
- Add the baked tempeh, soy sauce, vegan fish sauce and coconut sugar. Stir to coat the tempeh with the sauces.
- Constantly stir until the sauce has thickened and is sticky. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- In 4 coconut bowls, place 2 cups of mesclun in each. Arrange all the other ingredients around the bowl and serve.
