Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 1/4 pound) eggplant
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 (6 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained and thickly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 chopped fresh chives
10 chopped fresh basil
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place the eggplant in a shallow, oven-safe dish, and bake for 1 hour until tender, turning every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove, and allow the eggplant to cool until cool enough to handle.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/2 inch pieces, and combine with the tomatoes, onion, artichokes, garlic, parsley, chives, and basil. Pour into a baking dish
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the onions have softened, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, spoon the eggplant mixture over the quinoa.
