Ingredients:

2 medium-sized eggplants

1 lb lean ground beef

3 eggs

1 x 40 gram scoop Blackbelt Whey Protein Concentrate Raw Protein Powder

2 tbsp breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp chili flakes

2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

3 tbsp oil

Skewers, soaked

Preparation:

Slice eggplants into half-inch thick slices. Generously sprinkle with salt and set aside for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef with eggs, protein powder, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, chili flakes, and lemon juice. Mix well and shape patties (approximately 2-inches in diameter).

Brush a large, non-stick skillet with some oil and heat up over medium-high heat.

Rinse the eggplant slices and arrange on skewers along with ground beef patties. Grill for 7 minutes on one side – until lightly charred. Gently turn over and grill for another 5-7 minutes.

Serve immediately.
