PREIKESTOLEN (NORWAY) - CHICKPEA TOMATO PASTE

This is the first video from the VeganSmak series on YouTube channel. Norwegian nature is so amazing that ... cooking is a short stop on the trail.

Preikestolen (means - pulpit) - this is our first goal in 2021. It is one of the most visited places in Norway. On January 1, 2021, at dawn, we started our  hike, after approx. 1.5 hours. stand on the top, which is a rock shelf with dimensions of approx. 25m x 25m. From the 604 m high cliff, there is a breathtaking view of the azure water of the Lysefjord and the nearby mountains. Here we drink New Year's champagne (non-alcoholic :)) and eat New Year's breakfast - chickpea tomato paste on homemade bread, the preparation of which in these natural circumstances turned out to be quite a challenge :)
