Aubergine & hummus grills

"Aubergine & hummus grills" is a vegan dish delivering roughly 13.4g of protein for about 581.5 calories a serving — a solid plant-based option for life on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound.

Ingredients

• 2 Aubergine
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
• 3 Bread
• 300 g Hummus
• 100 g Walnuts
• 40 g Parsley
• 200 g Cherry Tomatoes
• Lemon
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Method

1. 1Lay the aubergine out in one layer on a large baking sheet. Brush sparingly with vegetable oil, then season generously. Grill for 15 mins, turning twice and brushing with oil until the slices are softened and cooked through. Meanwhile, whizz the bread into crumbs. Add 2 tsp oil and whizz briefly again, to coat.
2. 2Spread a couple of tsps of hummus on top of each slice of aubergine. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate, then press the hummus side of the aubergines into the crumbs to coat. Grill again, crumb-side up, for about 3 mins until golden.
3. 3Toss the walnuts, parsley and cherry tomatoes in a bowl, season, then add the lemon juice and olive oil and toss again. Serve the grills with the salad, a dollop more hummus and some pitta bread.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• A reasonable everyday option — nothing here should be hard on a GLP-1 stomach.
• Plant protein digests more slowly than meat for some people — eat slowly and stop when satisfied.
• At 13.4g of protein a serving, pair it with a protein-forward side if you're short of your daily target.
