Ingredients:
- 2 large eggplants
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation:
Step 1: Roasting the Eggplants
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the eggplants and season with salt and black pepper. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the flesh is tender and the skin is slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Step 2: Scooping the Eggplant Flesh
Once the eggplants have cooled, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin. Place the eggplant flesh in a bowl and set aside.
Step 3: Cooking the Onion and Garlic
In your Thermomix, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil at 100°C (212°F) for 2 minutes. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté at 100°C (212°F) for 5 minutes. This will soften the onion and garlic, enhancing their flavors.
Step 4: Mixing the Ingredients
Add the roasted eggplant flesh, cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, dried thyme, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the Thermomix. Mix at 90°C (194°F) for 5 minutes on reverse mode. This will ensure that all the ingredients are well combined and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Shaping the Sausage
Once the mixture has cooled, take a handful and shape it into a sausage shape, about 10-12 cm long. Repeat this step until all the mixture has been used. Place the sausages on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 6: Baking the Sausages
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Drizzle the sausages with the remaining olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 7: Serving
Remove the sausages from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and serve warm. These Eggplant Blood Sausages are delicious on their own or served with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
