Curried Chik’n, Eggplant, and Zucchini

This yellow curry dish is healthy and light, but still full of flavor. It’s easy to make and was loosely inspired by a recipe I found in Food Editors’ Favorites Treasured Recipes for Curried Chicken Roll-Ups. Among other things, I replaced real chicken with Chik’n Strips, and used this great Not Chik’n by Edward & Sons to replace chicken bouillon. It’s fun to veganize old recipes.

ingredients

• Morningstar Chik’n Strips
• grilled eggplant sliced
• grilled zucchini sliced
• 1 cube of Edward & Sons Not-Chick’n Bouillon
• 3 to 4 teaspoons Penzey’s Sweet Curry Powder
• lettuce
• white Basmati rice

Combine chik’n, eggplant, zucchini, curry powder, bouillon, and 2 cups water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Separate liquid and cook with rice for great seasoning. Once rice is done, pile onto a bed of lettuce (for crunchiness), and finally add Chik’n, eggplant, and zuccini. If there’s any sauce leftover, pour on top. Enjoy! (serves 2)
