The powerhouse of infusion
Create a powerful blend that’s as nourishing as it is flavourful. Aubergines are rich in antioxidants like nasunin, which supports brain health and protects cells from oxidative stress, while red peppers provide a high dose of vitamin C and beta-carotene for immune and skin health. The ginger and Szechuan pepper add anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits, stimulating circulation and supporting gut function. When these vegetables are lightly fried and marinated in heart-healthy avocado oil—rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E—the dish becomes not only deeply satisfying but also a functional food that supports cellular repair, heart health, and digestion.
