Instructions
- Cut aubergine half lengthwise, then slice into thin slices (3 mm/0.1 inch). In a bowl mix together water, vinegar, liquid smoke, maple syrup, olive oil, soy sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper and add aubergine slices. Stir around so the slices are well coated. Let it marinade until you prepare everything else.
- Cut potatoes into small cubes and place on a baking tray. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt on the cubes and bake for about 30 minutes at 200°C/400°F until golden brown.
- Add rice and 2 cups of water to a pot, season with salt and cook for 30-40 minutes or until soft.
- For the dressing whisk together tahini, lime juice and enough water to get a thin tahini sauce.
- Add aubergine slices and a few tablespoons of the marinade to a hot nonstick pan in a single layer and cook both sides for 5 minutes until marinade cooks off. Do it in batches if you work with a smaller pan.
- Assemble bowls. Add rice, potato cubes, aubergine bacon, drained and rinsed beans and onion slices to each bowl. Serve warm with the tahini dressing and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
