Stuffed Aubergine

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 150 g chicken breast fillet, chopped
• 300 g aubergine

• 1/2 cup mushroom pieces
• 50 g low fat cheddar cheese
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 50 g green pepper, chopped

Directions

1. Cut aubergine in half and cut some out from middle. Put some salt on both sides, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse them under cold water (the salt removes bitter taste from aubergine).

3. Place everything on aubergine halves and put them in a hot oven for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from oven, grate cheese on them and cook for a further 10 minutes.
