Ingredients

Eggplant

  • 1 small eggplant
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil 15 mL
  • ¼ cup feta cheese 30 g

Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • 1 tsp lemon juice 5 mL
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh mint
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • Pinch each of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the eggplant in half, lengthwise. Score the eggplant, cutting slits into just the flesh (not the skin), making about 5 cuts diagonally across the eggplant. Make another set of cuts diagonally the other way to create a cross hatch pattern. Brush with 1 Tbsp olive oil and set on a baking tray. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, combine 2 Tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food processor until smooth,
  • When eggplant has finished cooking, transfer to a serving plate. Top with mint sauce and crumbled feta cheese.
