About:

The tacos are filled with roasted bell peppers, tofu, Aubergine which were marinated first in chilli sauce, olive oil with herbs. Roasted marinated vegetables and tofu made them smoky-flavoured and delicious. It’s the Pistachio-rosemary spread which adds the extra flavour and nutty taste and a unique blend to the tacos.

Roasting an eggplant, the flesh became completely tender, and adding that to the puree resulted in a lighter tasting spread with a creamy smooth texture.
