Instrukcje
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the eggplant and zucchini slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with half the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Stir in the rinsed red lentils, chopped tomatoes, oregano, and cinnamon. Add 150ml of water, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils are tender and the sauce has thickened.
- 4.To assemble, create a stack on your plate by alternating layers of the roasted eggplant, zucchini, and the red lentil mixture. Start with an eggplant slice and finish with a spoonful of the lentil sauce.
- 5.Garnish the stack with fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
