Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 large eggplants
¼ cup olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaf
2 ½ cups baby bella mushroom, sliced
1 ½ cups farro
⅓ cup dry white wine
3 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
⅓ cup green sweet peas
½ cup cherry tomato, halved
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
olive oil, drizzle
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Roast the eggplant: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and place on the prepared baking sheet cut-side up. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Roast the eggplant for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the farro risotto: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the farro, allowing the oil to coat each grain, and cook for 1 minute, until grains are lightly toasted.
  • Pour in white wine and stir until it evaporates completely, 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the vegetable stock at a time and cook until the liquid begins to reduce before adding more, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes total. The farro should be cooked through and creamy.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until melted and well combined.
  • Gently fold in the sweet peas and cherry tomatoes, then the parsley.
  • Remove the eggplant from the oven and turn the broiler on high. Scoop out ¼ cup of flesh from each half and discard.
  • Fill the eggplant halves with the farro risotto, dividing evenly. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, then lay 2-3 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Broil the eggplant for 7-10 minutes, until the mozzarella is golden brown. Garnish with the parsley and serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
