INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (300g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (75g)
1/4 cup Onion (40g)
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out some of the flesh to create a boat, leaving about a 1/2-inch shell.
Lightly brush the eggplant halves with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place them 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 the edges begin to brown.
Meanwhile, in a pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the cooked lentils and season the mixture with salt and pepper. Let the filling simmer for a few minutes to meld the flavors.
Once the eggplant halves are roasted, remove them from the oven and spoon the hearty lentil and vegetable filling into each cavity.
Top each stuffed eggplant with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt, adding an extra sprinkle of pepper if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this fulfilling dish that balances roasted, savory, and fresh flavors.
