Eggplant is the vegetable component; it does not replace the protein food named in each recipe.
Cook the stated portion using the selected recipe’s method and measure added oil or sauce separately.
Refrigerate cooked portions promptly and keep the cold toppings separate when reheating the cooked base.
Aegean Falafel with Farro lists about 27 g protein and 24 minutes; Eggplant Pesto Chicken with Farro about 49 g and 30 minutes; Cod Eggplant Tomato with Cauliflower Rice about 27 g and 30 minutes; Falafel Pita Garden about 18 g and 24 minutes. These are whole-meal catalog estimates; open the matching cards below.
Use the grams in the chosen card, not an unlimited drizzle. Keep cucumber or other cold sides separate and compare the listed chicken, fish or falafel portion with the base.
