[@carolinewaterstone2624]

I love your vegan recipes, thank you! One question: I wonder why you, like so many other chefs, peel all your veggies. I never do as I was always taught the best goodness was in or just under the skin, maybe that’s wrong? More vegan recipes ALWAYS welcome here! Thank you 😃

I think your dish looks delicious. I have to try it! Please use olive oil in glass jars only.😊

Hi Chef, the written recipe does not have the tomato paste and the lemon included. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

[@chefdwainaina]

Thanks for this, just updated it.

[@mayamikolynn6825]

Every time you say hmmmm, my mouth water 😅😊 By the way, what can I substitute for cumin? I don’t like the taste

[@chefdwainaina]

You can just omit it and then try other spices you like.

[@jeffreymcdaniel6813]

is there a substitute for eggplants? i don't like them, but the rest looks amazing!

[@chefdwainaina]

Not sure , but squashes would work in this recipe too.
