INGREDIENTS
1 medium Eggplant (200g)
1.5 cups cooked Lentils (240g)
2 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese (56g)
1/2 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (2.3g)
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (15g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (15g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).
Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife, creating a crisscross pattern.
Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the flesh is soft and caramelized.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Once the eggplant is roasted, remove from the oven and scoop out a portion of the softened flesh, leaving a border to keep the shape of the boat. Mix a little of the eggplant flesh into the lentil stuffing for extra flavor and texture.
Fill each eggplant half evenly with the savory lentil and feta mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy the blend of smoky roasted eggplant with the hearty, tangy lentil stuffing.
