INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant
1.5 cups Cooked Lentils
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife.
Drizzle the cut sides of the eggplant with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of ground cumin.
Place the eggplant halves on a lined baking tray, cut side up, and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling by gently mixing the cooked lentils, crumbled feta, diced tomatoes, and chopped fresh parsley. Add lemon juice and additional cumin if desired, then season with salt and pepper.
Once the eggplant is roasted, allow it to cool slightly. Scoop out a small portion of the softened flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling, if desired.
Spoon the lentil and herb mixture generously into the roasted eggplant halves, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
