This is the perfect dish for the dreary winter days ahead. Watch as Annie introduces us to all new spices while she dices up this amazing dish for us!

Eat plants so your body can be a garden and not a graveyard!

If all you want is a warm hearty meal full of all the flavors and comforts of home… Annie has the dish for you! Annie has veganized the Mediterranean favorite eggplant dish similar to moussaka by removing the meat and using a Beyond Meat patty instead! Annie gets right to work peeling her eggplant in seconds! This woman has skills! Next, she dices a whole onion, the Beyond Meat patty, and half of the red pepper to add to a pot. She puts the pot on the heat next to the already simmering pot of rice so that those ingredients can cook up too. Then she takes the eggplant in another pot and adds water so it can cook at its own pace. She mixes her flavorful spices including citric acid for lemon flavor, together and adds those to the freshly cooked onion and peppers saute. Annie adds in her secret, not so secret spice blend we’ve never heard of, Vegeta! As the rice finishes cooking, she adds a frozen vegetable medley to power pack this dish with even more veggies!

These special spices are sure to tantalize everyone’s taste buds!

Once the dish is all done, Jane is ready to dive in for the taste test! It’s piping hot so she has to try it slowly but says it’s absolutely delicious! She says the dish is bursting with flavor, and is just the pick me up anyone needs during the cool gloomy weather! But Annie isn’t done… She serenadea us, with fellow amazing activist Micheal Fujimori on the guitar, with her original song for the animals called, “Animals are Like You and Me!” Try making this delightful dish at home and don’t forget to serenade whoever you cook it for!

This steamy dish is perfect for hiding inside on a cold day!
