This recipe was developed during one of my culinary trips to the Middle East. The vibrant flavors of the region inspired me to create a dish that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike.

Having been to various culinary trips, I have developed this unique vegan recipe that combines the richness of Middle Eastern flavors with the heartiness of Western comfort food.
