olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is rich in nutrients.

vinegar

💰Cheaper: onion powder

Garlic powder offers convenience with a similar flavor profile.

Break the walnuts and put them in a blender, mix and add cold boiled water to get the consistency of porridge.

Transfer the nut porridge from the blender to a separate bowl and add all the spices, stir well, and add vinegar and squeezed garlic.

If the sauce is thick, add cold boiled water.

Cut off the head and tail of the eggplant and cut into long plates after removing the peel.

Fry the eggplant in sunflower or olive oil until golden brown.

Let the fried eggplant cool down.

Spread each slice of toasted eggplant with nut sauce and roll it up.

Optionally, add more sauce on top and garnish with finely chopped kindza.
