On my first visit to Istanbul recently, I saw so many different and delicious ways eggplant can be prepared, it was amazing and inspiring. In this dish I combined some of the flavors of Turkey to create a quick, easy, and vegetarian dish you can enjoy by itself or with grilled lamb or meat. My husband is a big fan of eggplant, and I have to admit, I’m turning into almost as big of a fan as he is.
I always look for carb-free or low-carb ingredients for our daily meals and snacks. In the following recipe, I found organic cooked lentils in liquid, with only 10% of carbohydrates. I combined the slightly nutty flavor of the lentils with salty feta cheese, added sour cream, coriander, and chilies. This created a delightful taste experience.
