INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 cup cooked Green Lentils (198g)
2 cups baby Spinach (60g)
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves cut side up on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender.
While the eggplant is roasting, heat a small pan over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic in a drizzle of olive oil until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the cooked lentils to the pan along with chopped fresh parsley and thyme, mixing well. Let the flavors meld for 3-4 minutes; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Fold in the baby spinach into the lentils mixture just until wilted.
Once roasted, spoon the herbed lentils and spinach mixture into the eggplant halves.
Top each stuffed eggplant with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for a creamy finish and serve warm.
