INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (~300g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (~92g)
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils (~99g)
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame (~78g)
1/4 cup Crumbled Firm Tofu (~45g)
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tbsp Herb Cashew Cream
2 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
2 cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and use a spoon to carefully scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a sturdy shell. Dice the removed flesh and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the diced eggplant flesh with minced garlic and a drizzle of water or a light oil spray until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, lentils, shelled edamame, and crumbled tofu. Stir in the sautéed eggplant, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, and chopped fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill the eggplant halves generously with the mixture.
Place the stuffed eggplant boats on a baking tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and the filling is heated through.
While the eggplant is baking, prepare the herb cashew cream by blending raw cashews with a splash of water, the remaining fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle the herb cashew cream over the stuffed eggplant boats. Serve warm.
