INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 cup cooked Chickpeas
1/2 cup cooked Lentils
1 oz Feta Cheese
1 large Poached Egg
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of the flesh, leaving about a 1/2-inch border to form a boat. Chop the scooped eggplant flesh and set aside.
Brush the eggplant halves lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of mixed herbs.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the chopped roasted eggplant flesh with cooked quinoa, chickpeas, lentils, crumbled feta, lemon juice, and remaining fresh herbs. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the eggplant halves are roasted, stuff them generously with the quinoa mixture.
Optionally, top each stuffed eggplant with a freshly poached egg for an extra protein boost.
Serve warm and enjoy this nutritious, herb-infused delight.
