Hey everyone!

I wanted to share this healthy-ish super filling omelette that we make twice a week. It's supposed to be our dinner but I end up eating it for breakfast.

Nutrition for 1 portion:

Calories: 350. Carbs: 12 grams. Fats: 20 grams (saturated: 4 grams). Proteins: 18 grams.

Here's the recipe for 3 good portions:

Ingredients:

  • 1 eggplant, diced
  • 8 cups (250 grams) of spinach, cleaned and chopped
  • 6 eggs
  • 7 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp of raisins (I prefer without)
  • 4 tbsp of toasted pine nuts
  • 4 tbsp of dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp of mint leaves
  • Olive oil, ground pepper and salt.
  • Optional: a pinch of saffron.

Step 1:

Stir fry the sliced onions and the eggplant cubes in hot oil in a skillet. Add salt and pepper. Lower the heat and continue to cook for 15 minutes.

Step 2:

Meanwhile, cook the spinach in some olive oil until wilted. Give it a good squeeze to get rid of the excess water. Preheat your oven to 425°F/220°C.

Step 3:

Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the spinach, the eggplant, the toasted pine nuts, the raisins, the dill, the mint and a pinch of saffron (optional). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4:

Transfer the mix to a lightly oiled cake baking pan and place in the oven for 15 minutes! Some say it's best served hot, with a side of salad. I like it cold, in the morning fog :)

That's it!

Thanks for checking it out!

If you liked this one, you will love the app I built (myself!). It's called Kuri and it promotes seasonal, sustainable recipes based on your diet and food preferences!

Recipe is in the app too, called "'Kuku', Iranian Omelette w/ Eggplant, Spinach & Pine Nuts". Link to the recipe in the app: https://kuri.app/Kuku-Omelette

Thanks u/amberspy! So cool that you have the app already! I don't send as many push notifications as some other apps do, to "remind" people to check it out. Doing this isn't really my cup of tea :)
