Delicious Stuffed Aubergines

MissCheese

Just got a little creative in the kitchen and threw together a lovely stuffed aubergine that was very tasty and came in at just under 200 cals. Ate it with a lovely mixed salad for a very light dinner.

Instructions and Ingredients as follows:

1 small Aubergine (250g)
2 Chestnut Mushrooms (60g)
1 small Charlotte potato (50g)
4 walnut halves
1 garlic clove
20g Skinny Crowdie (soft cheese)
5 ml Olive Oil

Cut one side of the aubergine off (lengthways)and scoop out the flesh. Brush the aubergine with olive oil and place in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes until soft, about 180 degrees. You don't want the outside to burn, just go crispy but lovely and soft inside.

Cut the scooped out flesh finely, cut the potato and mushrooms into fine chunks also. Put into a non stick frying pan with a tiny drizzle of olive oil and fry on a medium heat. Add the crushed clove of garlic and cook for a couple of minutes, until all ingredients are soft but not coloured.

Set aside to cool.

Once cool add the chopped walnuts.

Take the cooked aubergine shell out of the oven and fill to the half way point with the cool mixture, top with some small chunks of the Crowdie, then pile on the remaining mixture and put more chunks of the cheese on the top.

Return to the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees.

Simple and very delicious.
