INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (240g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (92g)
1/2 cup Chickpeas (82g)
4 ounces Turkey Sausage (113g)
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Halve the eggplant lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh to create boat-like cavities, leaving about a 1/4-inch border.
Drizzle the eggplant halves lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for about 20 minutes until the flesh is softened.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, crumble and cook the turkey sausage over medium heat until it’s lightly browned.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, cooked turkey sausage, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the eggplant is roasted, spoon the quinoa mixture evenly into each eggplant boat.
Return the stuffed eggplants to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally garnish with extra herbs before serving.
