INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1 cup cooked Green Lentils (198g)
0.5 cup cooked Chickpeas (82g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g)
1 medium Onion (110g)
2 cloves Garlic
0.33 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese (40g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly. Drizzle with half the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the flesh is tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, finely dice the red bell pepper and onion, and mince the garlic.
In a pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked green lentils and chickpeas, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Remove the roasted eggplant from the oven. Gently scoop out a portion of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the stuffing, leaving a border intact.
Mix the scooped eggplant flesh with the lentil and chickpea mixture, add fresh parsley, and stir in the crumbled feta cheese.
Fill the eggplant shells with the savory stuffing. Optionally, return the stuffed eggplant to the oven for an extra 5 minutes to warm through.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty, nutritious meal.
