INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (150g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Roasted Chickpeas (82g)
1 oz Feta Cheese (28g)
1 small Red Bell Pepper (60g)
1 small Onion (70g)
1 small Tomato (91g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
Dash of Herbs & Spices
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise. Score the flesh lightly with a knife, drizzle with a dash of olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano, then place cut side up on a baking tray.
Roast the eggplant for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender and slightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the stuffing: In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, roasted chickpeas, chopped red bell pepper, diced onion, and chopped tomato. Mix in a dash of olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Once the eggplant is roasted, scoop out a portion of the soft flesh from the center to create a cavity, leaving a thin border.
Fold the scooped eggplant flesh into the lentil mixture gently and mix well.
Spoon the hearty lentil and vegetable stuffing back into the eggplant halves.
Top the stuffed eggplant with crumbled feta cheese and a final sprinkle of herbs.
Serve warm as a fulfilling breakfast, lunch, or dinner option.
