Try this mouth-watering vegetarian dish with a spicy
kick for your Meatless Mondays!
Hello and happy Monday to you.
How
was your weekend? I went for an epic bike ride and can say that I am quite
thoroughly in love with cycling now. One thing I really like about where I am
living in Newcastle is that it is near the River Tyne and about 13 miles from
the beach. So, last Saturday we decided to cycle to the beach in South Shields
and back. The weather was sunny and we even managed to have a pit stop for fish
and chips in South Shields. The fish and chips in Colmans is just mind blowing
and a must try if you are ever in South Shields. From South Shields, we took a 5 minute ferry ride to North Shields, which is just stunning - as seen in the photo below.

I am really new to the cycling game so after that bike
ride I decided to buy some cycling gear. While we are on the subject of cycling
gear, I just need to say that padded cycling trousers are such a god sent! Why
have I not tried them before?!? Anyway, I managed to spend more on cycling gear
than I did on my bike, which I bought second hand for £40. Well, you need
to look stylish on the bike right??
Coming back to food this Meatless Monday, I made aubergine with sambal.
Sambal is a Malaysian spicy chilli paste which tastes great with just about anything.
I have previously shared my recipe for sambal in my post on okra with sambal.
In that version, I steamed the okra and just ladled the sambal on top. Today’s
recipe however is more of a stir fry.
