This recipe features eggplant, a low GI food, and lean lamb, which is a good source of protein. The spices not only add flavor but also have anti-inflammatory properties. The quinoa is a high-protein, low-GI grain. Grocery list: Eggplants, lean ground lamb, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, quinoa, olive oil, salt, pepper, fresh parsley.
Ingredients
2 medium eggplants, 1 lb (450g) lean ground lamb, 1 onion finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 cup cooked quinoa, 2 tbsp olive oil, Salt and pepper to taste, Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and scoop out the center, leaving enough meat inside the skin so that it holds its shape when baked. 2. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until soft. Add lamb, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook until lamb is browned. 3. Stir in the scooped-out eggplant and cooked quinoa. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Stuff each eggplant half with the lamb mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. 5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
