Aubergines stuffed with walnut, bulgur and lentils (vegan)

 

Ingredients for 4 people:
2 large aubergines
Olive oil
For the filling:
120 g lentils, Puy, Beluga or mountain lentils
Whole sea salt
100 g bulgur
A little vegetable stock
2 shallots
3 cloves of garlic
Rapeseed oil
100 g chopped walnuts
Rosemary
Thyme
Herb salt
Freshly ground black pepper
A few sprigs of parsley
In addition:
1-2 tomatoes
Herbes de Provence

Preparation:

1. For the stuffed aubergines, wash and clean the aubergines, cut them in half and score the flesh crosswise with a sharp knife. Grease a shallow baking dish and place the halved aubergines in the dish with the cut surface facing down. Brush with a little olive oil and bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes until soft. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully remove the aubergine flesh and chop it up a little.
2. In the meantime, rinse the lentils and cook them in a little sea salt until soft. Simmer the bulgur in a little vegetable stock until soft.
3. Peel and finely dice the shallots.
4. Peel the garlic, remove the germ and chop finely.
5. Heat the rapeseed oil in a deep frying pan and fry the diced shallots with the finely chopped garlic.
6. Add the cooked lentils, cooked bulgur and aubergine flesh to the pan, mix well and fry for a few minutes, stirring continuously.
7. Add the chopped walnuts and season with rosemary, thyme, herb salt and freshly ground black pepper.
8. Stuff the prepared aubergines with this filling.
9. Wash 1-2 tomatoes, remove the stalks and slice the tomatoes. Top the stuffed aubergines with the tomato slices, sprinkle with a little herbes de Provence and bake in the oven at 180 degrees C for about 10 minutes.

 

My recommendations:

  • This filling is also suitable for stuffing courgettes, kohlrabi, onions, etc.

  • The bulgur wheat can also be replaced with couscous, quinoa or millet.

 

Product description:

Bulgur is light and has a strong nutty flavour. It is usually made from durum wheat, spelt or barley. Bulgur is steamed, then dried, separated from the outer husk and finely chopped. This process preserves many vitamins and minerals. Bulgur can be prepared in many different ways, from savoury to sweet, as a salad, side dish, casserole or dessert. It also has many valuable nutritional properties and is ideal for preparing a quick side dish.

My suggestions:

    • This is an ideal recipe when your garden is overflowing with courgettes ;o).

    • For an autumn or winter recipe, replace the courgettes with leeks.

    • This pasta dish is even tastier if you add some toasted pine nuts.

 

Product description:

Courgettes bring a touch of summer to your plate. Their flesh is at its most tender when they measure between 15 and 20 cm. Thanks to their neutral or slightly nutty flavour, courgettes are very versatile in the kitchen and are an easily digestible fruit vegetable. Raw, they are often eaten in salads or as appetisers with a sauce. Boiled, steamed or pan-fried, they are a versatile ingredient for vegetable-based dishes.

Product description:

Currants, also known as Ribisel in Austria, come in three colours: red, white and black, each with a different flavour. The red ones have a refreshingly tart and milder flavour than the blackcurrants. The white currants are just a colour variation of the red currants, which taste slightly sweeter than the red currants. Each variety belongs to the gooseberry family.
