INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (250g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (50g)
7/8 cup Cooked Lentils (150g)
1 oz Feta Cheese (28g)
1 large Boiled Egg (50g)
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about a 1/2-inch border to form a boat. Reserve the scooped flesh and chop it finely.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a small pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic along with the chopped eggplant flesh for 2-3 minutes until softened.
In a bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with cooked quinoa and cooked lentils. Stir in halved cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and thyme. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the filling into the roasted eggplant halves evenly.
Top each stuffed eggplant with crumbled feta cheese.
Peel and slice the boiled egg, then gently place slices on top as a garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your herb-roasted stuffed eggplant dish.
