Stuffed eggplant with red lentils and vegetables
Ingredients:
Stuffed eggplant with red lentils and vegetables
- 4 medium eggplants
- 150 gr of red lentils
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 1 Italian green pepper
- 1 small zucchini
- 400 gr of crushed tomato
- 150 gr of mozarella cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Oregano
- Salt
- We wash the eggplantss and cut them in half, in each half we make some cuts in the meat of the eggplant so that it cooks faster.
- We put them on a plate, add salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and put them in the microwave for 10-12 minutes until they are soft. If you do not fit all at once, do it in 2 turns.
- While we are going to prepare the pisto; In a pan with 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil add the chopped onion, the peeled and chopped carrot and the chopped green pepper, cook for 7-8 minutes over medium heat and add the washed and chopped zucchini (I don’t peel it ). We cook the whole.
- Meanwhile, we remove the meat from the eggplants that are already cooked in the microwave, we will leave the skin and a layer of eggplant meat to prevent it from being very fragile, the rest we take out, chop it and add it to the sauce.
- We also add the crushed tomato and a little salt. Cook the whole for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the lentils in a saucepan with water and salt for about 8-10 minutes, go testing until you see that they are ready, when they are, drain and add them to the sauce.
- In a large container or on the baking tray with paper, we place the empty eggplants and fill them with the sauce, add the mozarella on top , a little oregano and Bake for 10-15 minutes at 220ºC until we see that the cheese is golden.
