INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (approx. 150g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (approx. 198g)
1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (approx. 75g)
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx. 5g)
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (approx. 16g)
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley & Mint
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender and lightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, crumbled feta, nutritional yeast, and finely chopped fresh parsley and mint. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Once the eggplant is roasted, use a spoon to gently scoop out a portion of the flesh from the center, creating a cavity for the filling. Chop the removed eggplant flesh and mix it into the lentil filling to add extra texture and flavor.
Spoon the savory lentil mixture back into the eggplant halves, ensuring an even distribution.
Return the stuffed eggplant to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, nutrient-rich meal.
