Stuffed eggplant

Been making this lately, i've done it with lamb mince, and also turkey mince. Both were delicious!

You will need;
1 large eggplant
1 red onion chopped
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
500g lamb mince
1/2 bunch fresh oregano chopped
1/2 continental parsley chopped
1/4 cup currants
1 egg
1/2 cup almond meal
olive oil

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Cut your eggplant in half and scoop out most of the flesh leaving about 1cm next to the skin. Spray each half lightly with olive oil spray and when oven is at temp put in the oven on an oven tray for 10 mins. Fry onion and garlic off in a pan until soft. In a mixing bowl combine mince, fried onions, herbs, currants, egg and almond meal. Remove eggplant from oven after ten minutes and pack mince mix into each half. Return to the oven for around 25 mins or until meat is brown on top.

Yoghurt sauce;
Plain geek yoghurt
finely chopped mint
dash of tabasco or hot sauce

Serve eggplant with yoghurt sauce and a fresh salad.
