INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
0.75 cup Cooked Quinoa (167g)
0.5 cup Chickpeas (125g)
1 oz Feta Cheese (28g)
2.5 oz Grilled Chicken Breast (70g)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Mixed Fresh Herbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife.
Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of mixed fresh herbs. Place them face up on a baking sheet.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the flesh is soft and slightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling by combining the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, crumbled feta, and diced grilled chicken breast in a bowl. Mix in additional herbs, salt, and pepper to taste.
Once the eggplant is done, scoop out some of the softened flesh to create a cavity, then mix the scooped-out eggplant with the filling for extra moisture and flavor.
Fill the eggplant halves generously with the quinoa mixture, then return them to the oven for another 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, garnished with a final sprinkle of fresh herbs.
