Ingredients

For the Stuffed Eggplant:

• 2 medium eggplants, halved lengthwise
• 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¾ cup prepared Grainful Blends Bliss Mix
• ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp Kalamata olives, chopped
• ¼ cup chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp pine nuts or chopped walnuts (optional)
• Salt to taste

Sattvic Spice Blend:

• ¼ tsp cumin seeds
• ¼ tsp ground coriander
• ¼ tsp fennel powder
• ⅛ tsp turmeric
• Pinch of cinnamon
• Pinch of ajwain (optional, for digestion)
• 1 tsp ghee or coconut oil

Surprise Flavor Bursts (Optional Garnishes):

• Pomegranate seeds
• Crumbled feta or vegan feta
• Mint leaves
• Lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Eggplant

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Slice eggplants lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a ½-inch border to create “boats.”
3. Lightly brush the insides with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
4. Roast for 20 minutes, until tender and golden. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Filling

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Stir in the sattvic spice blend:

   • Warm ghee/coconut oil in a pan.
   • Add cumin seeds; let them sizzle.
   • Stir in ground coriander, fennel powder, turmeric, cinnamon, and ajwain.
   • Pour this spice oil into your skillet to coat the onions and garlic.

4. Add chopped eggplant flesh (scoop it finely) and sauté until soft.
5. Stir in the prepared Bliss Mix (cook it per package directions beforehand).
6. Mix in sun-dried tomatoes, olives, parsley, and nuts (if using).
7. Season with salt and a pinch of black pepper or a dash of cayenne (optional).

Step 3: Stuff and Bake

1. Fill roasted eggplant halves with the warm filling.
2. Optional: Top with a bit of crumbled feta or a drizzle of tahini.
3. Bake stuffed eggplants for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, fresh mint, and lemon zest right before serving for a cool, sweet, and tangy burst that perfectly balances the warm spices.
