INGREDIENTS
100g Eggplant, diced
150g cooked green lentils
20g extra cooked lentils
1 medium Tomato
1 cup raw Spinach
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2/3 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds or dice into cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet, lightly drizzle with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, finely chop the onion, tomato, and garlic. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in a splash of olive oil until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until it starts to break down.
Stir in the cooked lentils (both portions) and toss with the vegetables. Allow the mixture to warm through and meld together for about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried herbs if desired.
Once the eggplant is roasted, gently mix it into the lentil and vegetable mixture along with the raw spinach so that the heat slightly wilts the greens.
Transfer the stuffing into serving bowls or onto halved eggplants if desired, then top with crumbled feta cheese and a final drizzle of olive oil.
Serve warm and enjoy this nutritious, savory dish.
