Stuffed Eggplant With Tomato And Black & Red Rice

"Forbidden Black & Red Rice and Tomato Stuffed Eggplant. When you’re a FODMAP friendly vegan, rice should be one of your staple foods. The husk part of rice (which also just happens to be the most popular grain in the world) is considered to be one of the most effective medicines to treat dysentery, and may even have diuretic properties. Asian cultures have long believed rice has the ability to increase appetite, cure stomach ailments and reduces all digestive problems. As a diuretic, rice can help you lose excess water weight, eliminate toxins from the body like uric acid, and even lose weight, since approximately 4% of urine is actually made up of body fat! The high fiber content also increases bowel movement regularity and protects against various types of cancer, as well as reducing the chances of cardiovascular diseases. This recipe really takes me back to my Latin roots.?? I’ve used a combination of @forbiddenfoods black and red rice – so that the sticky quality of the black rice is nicely countered by the nutty texture and firmer consistency of the red rice. Both rice varieties soak up the rich tomato and olive sauce, and seep into the melting roasted eggplant to create soft, flavoursome, and easy-to-digest perfection. The fresh herbs serve to enhance the flavours of the fresh vegetables. Easy, hearty vegan food at its finest."
