Stuffed eggplant baked to perfection with potatoes is a Greek classic. We provided a creative alternative by filling them with light quinoa, sweet onion and a feta and pomegranate topping. The filling is so good, you can serve it on its own as a Greek twist on tabouli! This version was development by our very own, Anna Gass (Kosterina Executive Chef).
