INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
150g Firm Tofu
100g Mixed Vegetables (Red Bell Pepper, Zucchini, Tomato)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Basil, Parsley, Oregano)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly. Brush with half the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking tray, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh becomes soft and slightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, drain and rinse the cooked lentils. In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat and add the mixed vegetables. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Lightly crumble the firm tofu and add it to the skillet along with the lentils. Stir in the fresh herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Once the eggplant is roasted, scoop out some of the center from each half to create a larger cavity for the filling.
Fill each eggplant half generously with the herbed lentil, tofu, and vegetable mixture.
Return the stuffed eggplant to the oven for an extra 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, flavorful meal.
