Ingredients:
- 2 large aubergines (eggplants)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C.
Prepare the Aubergines:
- Cut the aubergines in half lengthwise. Score the flesh with a knife in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to pierce through the skin.
- Drizzle the cut sides of the aubergines with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast the Aubergines:
- Place the aubergine halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and the edges are slightly golden.
Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried oregano, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to mix well.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
Stuff the Aubergines:
- Once the aubergines are roasted, carefully scoop out some of the flesh from the center, leaving a border around the edges to create a “boat.”
- Mix the scooped-out aubergine flesh into the quinoa filling mixture.
- Stuff the aubergine halves with the quinoa filling, pressing it gently to fill the hollowed-out center.
Return to the Oven:
Place the stuffed aubergines back in the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the filling is heated through and the flavors meld.
Serve:
- Once the stuffed aubergines are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve the roasted stuffed aubergines as a main dish or accompanied by a side salad.
