Place the bell peppers under a medium grill/broiler skin side up for approx 5-10 minutes.
Remove when skins are charred and starting to blister.
Immidiatly place into a zip lock bag for about 5 minutes, now the skin should come off really easily.
Cut into chunky strips.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the olive oil, thyme and basil.
Add the sliced eggplant and mix well so that the slices are coated.
Grill or griddle for approximately 10 minutes turning once.
For the houmous combine the garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, yoghurt, cumin and paprika in a blender and mix until smooth, if required add a little of the reserved liquid from the beans until you reach the desired consistency.

Answer 7

Human beings are carnivores as well as herbivores, eat meat as mother nature intended for you to do. Eating less meat and adding more vegetables to your diet can only enhance your health and wellbeing. Rice with vegetables is common food among orientals, and I havn't seen many overweight people of oriental persuasion. They do not use much meat, but they still include meat in their diets. Much more meat and vegetables are added to Americanized oriental food to appeal to american taste than is used in true oriental cuisine.
