Ingredients
-
2 large aubergines
-
2 tbsp. olive oil
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, chopped
-
2 tbsp. chopped parsley, plus more to garnish
-
1 cup (200g) chickpeas, drained
-
2 tbsp. tahini
-
juice of ½ lime
-
salt, pepper, oil
- Spices
-
1 tsp. turmeric
-
1 tsp. oregano
-
1 tsp. cumin
-
1 tbsp. coriander, fresh, chopped
-
1/3 tsp. hot paprika
-
1/3 tsp. sweet paprika
Directions
- Heat the oven to 400F (200C).
- Cut the aubergines in half lengthwise, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, and bake in the oven for about 25 – 30 minutes. Once baked remove the flesh with a spoon, leaving about ¼ inch (1/2 cm) of the edges of the aubergine. Chop the aubergine flesh and set aside.
- Heat a pan with 2 tbsp. of olive oil, add the chopped onion and finely chopped garlic, fry for 2-3 minutes. Then add the chopped flesh, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes stirring often.
- Next add the spices, and fry for another 2-3 minutes, adding water as needed to avoid burning.
- Add the chopped parsley and take off the heat. Finally add the chickpeas, tahini and lime juice, mix, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the stuffing into the halved cooked aubergines and serve with fresh chopped parsley.
