INGREDIENTS
½ medium Eggplant (150g)
¼ cup Cooked Quinoa (43g)
150g Firm Tofu
½ cup Cooked Lentils (100g)
½ cup Shelled Edamame (75g)
¼ cup diced Red Bell Pepper (40g)
¼ cup halved Cherry Tomatoes (35g)
¼ cup Spinach (7g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (Basil & Parsley)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly, then brush with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until the flesh is tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, press the tofu to remove excess moisture and crumble it into a bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, crumbled tofu, cooked lentils, shelled edamame, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, and spinach.
Add minced garlic, fresh chopped basil and parsley, and a dash of lemon juice to the bowl, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
Once the eggplant is roasted, scoop out a bit of the soft interior to make a small well in each half, and fold the scooped eggplant into your mixture.
Fill the roasted eggplant halves with the quinoa mixture, and optionally return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed herb-roasted quinoa stuffed eggplant boats!
