Whether you are a vegan, keto, or healthy fats lover – this eggplant and spinach wraps will be a great choice for your rock climbing day at the crag!

I fudged this recipe while mixing and playing with ingredients available at the moment. More often than not, these dishes would turn out to be great, like the one I will share with you today.

Apart from being a meat lover, I’m also a rock climber. I need to take all the nutrients necessary to be able to perform at my best. This dish allows me to ditch the meet. I regularly bring it to the crag because it is easy to prepare, and it will not spoil quickly while sitting in my bag for a couple of hours. Also, it will not leave me bloated or sleepy after lunchtime when I need to focus on my climbing.
Eggplant hotchpotch
A non-stick pan is not necessary, but it is recommended for this recipe. By using it, you can reduce the amount of oil. I recommend using cold-pressed sunflower oil. It’s not just that it smells great, it is healthier than regular, refined oil. Other used ingredients are eggplant, fried chickpeas, tick, almonds, and hazelnuts.
Preparation:
Cut eggplant to little pieces, add some salt and leave them for 20 minutes to release juice. After 20 minutes, squeeze the juice from the eggplant. Add some cold-pressed sunflower oil to the pan. When the pan is hot enough, add a handful of fried chickpeas, and a handful of ticks, almonds, and hazelnuts. Frie them a little bit, so they would start to smell nice. Add squeezed eggplant. It will release more juice and blend into a dish that will get you full, happy, and ready to rock.
Ingredients:
- A spoon of cold-pressed sunflower oil
- One eggplant
- A handful of fried chickpeas
- A handful of tick, almonds, and hazelnuts
Extra tip: It will go nicely with rice, but if you are on a keto diet, lose the rice, and you will get a delightful keto meal.
