How to Make Acadia's Stuffed Eggplant

  3. Finely chop the scooped eggplant flesh (about 2 cups).
  4. In a large bowl, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened.
  5. Add the chopped eggplant flesh, 1 cup of cooked quinoa, ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Mix well.
  6. Spoon the mixture into the eggplant halves.
  7. Place the stuffed eggplants in a baking dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggplants are tender and the filling is heated through.
  9. Garnish with extra feta cheese, parsley and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
