Ingredients:

1 eggplant
550g
2 cups tomatoes
300g
1 garlic clove
3g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Eggplant:
- Wash the eggplant thoroughly and cut it in half lengthwise.
- Using a knife or a spoon, carefully scoop out the flesh of the eggplant without damaging the skin, leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell.
- Finely chop the scooped-out eggplant flesh and set aside.
3. Cook the Filling:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped eggplant flesh to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes soft and slightly golden.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Stuff the Eggplant Halves:
- Lightly brush the inside of the eggplant shells with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Spoon the tomato and eggplant mixture into the eggplant halves, dividing it equally between the two.
5. Bake:
- Place the stuffed eggplant halves onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the eggplant shells are tender and the tops are slightly browned.
6. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, you can garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Choose a firm, medium-sized eggplant for best results.

- If you prefer a less bitter taste, sprinkle the cut eggplant with salt and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before cooking, then rinse and pat dry.

- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as basil or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

- For a heartier dish, you can add cooked quinoa, rice, or lentils to the stuffing mixture.

- Experiment with different cheeses, like feta or mozzarella, if you're not following a vegan diet.
