Isn’t this some great weather outside the last couple of days?! It seems as if we skipped spring and went directly to summer. I enjoy those warm evenings in my hammock and hope that there will be a lot more of these days this year!
When it is this warm outside, people enjoy light meals much more than heavy ones. This is the perfect dish for that. Mostly I buy eggplants to make vegan herring in yoghurt sauce, but this time I baked it.
I was planning to fill the eggplant, but then was too lazy and made a tabbouleh salad from the quinoa for the filling. I spread some left-over wild garlic pesto on the eggplant of the second serving, which also tasted great.
I wish you a sunny day and enjoy this dish!
Love,

Tipps/Notes
Don't be thrifty with the spices to make the eggplant taste best.
Sorry, aber das war ein absoluter Reinfall. Ich habe das Rezept exakt nach Anleitung gekocht und die Auberginen waren sehr gut, der Quinoa war jedoch absolut matschig und hat alles andere als gut geschmeckt, obwohl ich auf Bio-Qualität geachtet habe. Sehr enttäuschend.

Das ist aber schade, dass es dir nicht geschmeckt hat.
Hattest du bunte Quinoa?
