A marriage of nutrition and flavor, Stewart’s green broccoli curry combines creamy coconut broth with tofu and broccoli, accented by ginger, chilies, lime, and cilantro. Green curry paste adds depth and complexity to this vegan comfort meal.

Putting a lighter spin on a beloved Italian classic, Stewart’s grilled eggplant parmigiana skips the breading and frying, opting for the smoky flavor of grilled eggplant complemented by tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella.
