INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
0.25 cup dry Quinoa (43g)
0.5 cup cooked Chickpeas (80g)
0.5 cup halved Cherry Tomatoes (75g)
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 oz Feta Cheese (28g)
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the center flesh, leaving a sturdy border to form a boat. Reserve the scooped-out eggplant flesh.
Brush the eggplant boats lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until they begin to soften.
Meanwhile, rinse the quinoa and cook it according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
Finely chop the reserved eggplant flesh and mix it into the cooked quinoa along with the chickpeas and halved cherry tomatoes.
Stir in chopped fresh parsley and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
For extra protein, whisk the egg white lightly and fold it into the quinoa mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Spoon the quinoa mixture generously into each roasted eggplant boat. Return the stuffed eggplants to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and serve drizzled with nonfat Greek yogurt and sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy your wholesome herb-roasted quinoa stuffed eggplant boats!
