Spicy Eggplant Recipe

It was Friday, and I was cooking for the end of the week in a deadened manner. Simply your essential basil/lemon chicken broiled over root vegetables. Israeli serving of mixed greens (a lot of hacked tomatoes and cucumbers, prepared with salt, lemon juice and olive oil). Hummus, corn serving of mixed greens, a plate of olives and pickles. The visitors were a family with three little kids. While I kept the feast plain to satisfy the little individuals, I needed one refined dish for the adults.

I opened the ice chest and discovered two firm, purple eggplants in the vegetable container. Aha.

Cut, flour, and fry them? Excessively common.

Ratatouille? By one way or another I wasn’t in the state of mind for ratatouille.

So I looked through the well disposed Internet and found The Eggplant Recipe Database. I adjusted this Chinese-ish formula from it. It’s prepared, bean stew hot and has bunches of garlic. My grown-up visitors adored it, and even the Little One, who professes to abhor all purple food, ate and appreciated.

Note: This is a decent veggie lover dish. It makes a fine supplement to brown rice and the plates of mixed greens referenced previously.
