INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1.5 cups Cooked Green Lentils (300g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g)
1 medium Tomato (123g)
1 small Onion (70g)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
0.5 ounce Crumbled Feta Cheese (14g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant lengthwise and score the flesh lightly. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper; then place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the flesh is soft and tender.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a small pan with the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic with chopped small onion until translucent.
Dice the red bell pepper and tomato, and add them to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the cooked green lentils and let the mixture warm through, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the eggplant is roasted, gently scoop out a portion of the flesh, creating a cavity for the filling while leaving a border around the edges.
Mix the scooped eggplant flesh into the lentil and vegetable mixture for extra flavor and texture.
Fill the roasted eggplant halves with the hearty lentil and vegetable filling, then top with a light sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, balanced meal.
