INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (~92g)
1/3 cup cooked Chickpeas (~50g)
5 ounces Firm Tofu (~140g)
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (~38g)
1 medium Tomato (~123g)
1 cup Spinach (~30g)
2 Tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley & basil)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a 1/2-inch border to create a boat. Dice the removed flesh and set aside.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, drizzle lightly with a bit of water (or a tiny amount of olive oil if desired) and roast for 20-25 minutes until slightly tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, diced tofu (cubed), chopped tomato, spinach, and reserved eggplant flesh. Stir in the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Once the eggplant halves are roasted, spoon the mixture into each boat evenly.
Return the stuffed eggplants to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the boats, and serve warm.
