INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (≈300g)
0.75 cup cooked Quinoa (≈140g)
1 cup cooked Lentils (≈198g)
1 oz Feta Cheese (≈28g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (≈30g)
0.25 tsp Olive Oil (≈4.5g)
1 large Egg White (≈33g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out a portion of the flesh, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick shell. Chop the scooped flesh into small pieces.
Drizzle the eggplant halves lightly with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Place them face up on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the chopped eggplant flesh with cooked quinoa, cooked lentils, fresh spinach, and crumbled feta cheese.
Lightly whisk the egg white and stir it into the filling mixture to bind the ingredients together.
Once the eggplant shells are roasted, remove them from the oven and fill each half generously with the quinoa-lentil mixture.
Return the stuffed eggplant to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve warm.
