INGREDIENTS
1/2 medium Eggplant (~150g)
1 cup Cooked Lentils (~198g)
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa (~55g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (~90g)
1/4 cup Diced Onion (~40g)
1 clove Minced Garlic (~3g)
1/2 cup Fresh Spinach (~15g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
100g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the flesh is tender and lightly caramelized.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic (and spinach if using) for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the cooked lentils, quinoa, and diced tomatoes to the pan. Stir well and let it heat through for about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and any herbs of your choice.
Once the eggplant is roasted, scoop out a bit of the soft center to create a larger cavity for the filling.
Stuff each eggplant half generously with the hearty lentil-quinoa mixture.
Finish by topping the stuffed eggplant with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt. Garnish with additional fresh spinach or herbs if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this nourishing, balanced meal.
