Eggplant Stuffed with Black Beans
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Eggplant
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  1. Cut the eggplants in half lengthways and place the four eggplant halves, flesh-side up, onto the baking sheet. Brush the flesh completely with oil. Place into the oven to roast until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 35 minutes.
  2. While the eggplants are roasting, place a frying pan on medium heat. Add in the oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent approximately 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more until the garlic is soft.
  3. Add in the spices except paprika and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly until the spices are fragrant. Mix in the black beans and cook on low for 4-5 minutes. Stir in the paprika and remove from heat. Set aside until the eggplants are roasted.
Assemble the Eggplants
  1. Place the roasted eggplant halves onto a serving dish. Spoon all the back bean mixture on top of each half. Drizzle with Tahini Sauce and garnish with chives, walnuts and tomatoes.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy!
