Taco with Baba Ganoush & Roasted Cauliflower
We have a soft spot for tacos and love to experiment with them. Besides classics such as fish tacos (vegan, of course!), tostadas or taquitos, we also serve Korean tacos, ramen tacos, chanterelles tacos or even chocolate tacos. You can find all our taco recipes here.
We are totally in love with hummus. It's a long-term affair and will certainly never end. The preparation of baba ganoush is similar to hummus but consists eggplants instead of chickpeas. And: baba ganoush is often wrongfully in the shade of hummus. So today we dedicate our full attention to this eggplant creme while pairing it with roasted cauliflower and warm tacos!
