INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (250g)
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
100 grams Firm Tofu
50 grams Chickpeas
1 small Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1 quarter Onion (30g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and lightly score the flesh with a knife.
Drizzle the cut sides of the eggplant with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Place the halves face down on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked green lentils, crumbled firm tofu, and chickpeas to the pan. Stir gently to combine and let the flavors meld for another 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Once the eggplant is roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Scoop out part of the eggplant flesh to create a cavity, then mix the scooped flesh into the lentil and vegetable mixture.
Fill the eggplant halves generously with the savory lentil and vegetable crumble. Optionally, return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutrient-packed, delicious stuffed eggplant dish.
