INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
100g Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (123g)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Basil)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the medium eggplant in half lengthwise and scoop out a portion of its flesh to create a boat, leaving about a 1/2-inch thick shell.
Chop the scooped-out eggplant flesh into small cubes and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the chopped eggplant flesh, red bell pepper, and diced tomatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the cooked lentils and crumbled extra firm tofu to the skillet. Gently mix in the fresh chopped herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, and stuff them generously with the herbed lentil and vegetable mixture.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the eggplant is tender and the flavors meld.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
