SPICY EGGPLANT & POTATO STEW



Spicy Eggplant & Potato Stew image

This Spicy Eggplant & Potato Stew is a spicy Indian-style eggplant dish that is easy to make and really tasty. I often boil potatoes to keep in the fridge to use for roasting or sautéing, but I particularly love using them to make a quick curry like this one. I craved spicy foods while on chemo. I found they were the only thing that could beat my chemo palate. This tasty treat is great as a side to change up the flavors of a traditional roast chicken or a piece of grilled fish.

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 Asian eggplants halved and cut into ½ inch chunks 6 small potatoes, boiled, quartered and peeled 1 small beefsteak tomato (about 6-ounces), diced 2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced 1 poblano pepper or 2 jalapenos, deseeded and diced (see Ann's Tips) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon cumin seeds ¼ teaspoon turmeric ¼ teaspoon powdered ginger ¼ lemon 2 teaspoons chopped mint (optional) Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds. When they start to darken and give off their distinct aroma, add the eggplant and garlic. Sprinkle with salt. Sauté until the garlic starts to color.
  • Add the potatoes and peppers. Sauté until the potato and eggplant are golden, the eggplant soft, and the peppers are browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Add the turmeric and ginger, a grind or two of black pepper and cook for one minute.
  • Add the tomatoes, and squeeze the ¼ lemon over the pan. Cook until the tomatoes give off their juices but still have some shape. You can add a couple tablespoons of water or stock to accelerate this. Stir in the mint. Serve immediately with Basic Roast Chicken or baked fish.

Here's what you need: medium yukon potatoes, medium eggplants, red bell peppers, olive oil, salt, pepper, medium yellow onion, tomato paste, garlic, smoked paprika, chickpeas, medium beefsteak tomatoes, low sodium vegetable broth, fresh parsley

Provided by Rachel Gaewski

Categories     Dinner

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 medium yukon potatoes
2 medium eggplants, chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste, divided
¾ teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
15 oz chickpeas, 1 can, drained and rinsed
3 medium beefsteak tomatoes, diced
1 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth
fresh parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  • With a sharp knife, score a ring around each potato, just deep enough to break the skin. Place the potatoes in a medium pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes, until about halfway cooked.
  • Drain the potatoes, and rinse with cold water. Peel off the skin.
  • Cut the potatoes into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces and set aside.
  • Divide the eggplant and bell peppers between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent.
  • Add the tomato paste and stir until well distributed, then add the garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the potatoes, chickpeas, and tomatoes, and stir to incorporate.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth and cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add the roasted eggplant and bell pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the tomatoes have mostly broken down.
  • Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve. Or, transfer the stew to resealable containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Blue Buddha

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Chicken

Time 2h1m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups sliced onions
12 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons ground fennel seeds
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, hand-crushed and juice reserved
2 cups sliced red bell peppers
½ cup white wine
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
1 (4.5 pound) whole chicken, separated and breasts split and skinned
1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
  • Place eggplant in a large bowl. Drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil over eggplant and toss to coat. Spread eggplant on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is softened and browned, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions and garlic until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Stir paprika, kosher salt, coriander, fennel seeds, black pepper, cumin, ginger, and turmeric into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
  • Mix tomatoes, half of the reserved tomato juice, red bell peppers, white wine, and lemon juice into onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reserve the remaining tomato juice to thin the stew if needed.
  • Arrange chicken in a single layer in the pot; cover with some of the tomato mixture. Return stew to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Flip chicken, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Stir eggplant and marjoram into stew; simmer uncovered until heated through, about 10 minutes.

EGGPLANT AND POTATO GRATIN



Eggplant and Potato Gratin image

In this side dish inspired by Indian flavors, slices of eggplant and potato sit over a bed of crushed tomatoes seasoned with garlic, cumin and nigella seeds. It's a wonderful accompaniment to seafood, particularly roasted fish. To cut the cooking time, slice the vegetables even thinner, using a mandolin or food processor. Nigella seeds are sometimes erroneously labeled as black cumin, but they look and taste quite different. They have a triangular shape and a distinct black coat, and the flavor will remind some of alliums. There is no direct substitute, but, for the same texture - if not the same taste - you could use sesame seeds.

Categories     casseroles, vegetables, side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Japanese eggplants (12 ounces total)
1 russet potato (about 14 ounces)
2 tablespoons melted ghee or oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, such as Aleppo
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 (14-ounce) can crushed or diced tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Slice the eggplants 1/4-inch thick, discarding the tops. Peel the potatoes or leave the skins on, and slice the potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Place the eggplant and potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with the ghee. Toss with cumin, nigella, red-pepper flakes, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Lightly grease a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or similarly sized gratin dish with ghee, and place the gratin dish on a baking sheet.
  • Add the tomatoes and garlic to the baking dish, season with salt and toss to combine. Arrange the eggplant and potato slices on top, alternating between the two vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan. Sprinkle the mixture over the sliced vegetables.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the top turns golden brown. Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.

QUICK AND HEARTY EGGPLANT STEW



Quick and Hearty Eggplant Stew image

This eggplant stew is simmered with tummy-warming Indian spices and served over rice.

Provided by Jessica Hawn

Categories     Eggplant Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 medium eggplant
2 tablespoons sweet curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 small onion, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped, or more to taste
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup sliced scallions, divided
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup beef stock, or more as needed
2 cups beef stock
¼ cup sliced scallions
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup rice
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Partially skin eggplant and cut into cubes; set aside.
  • Mix curry powder, coriander, garam masala, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Start rice: bring beef stock, scallions, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in rice and kosher salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Continue with stew: coat the bottom of a heavy pan with oil. Add onion and garlic and warm over medium heat until aromatic, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir eggplant into the onion mixture; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes. Remove cover and stir in tomatoes; simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Stir in black beans and 1/2 of the scallions; the stew should be pretty thick at this point because of the tomatoes.
  • Add 1 cup beef stock and stir in spice mix. Boil, stirring occasionally, for several minutes. Add up to 1 cup more beef stock as the stew cooks down to get the thickness you desire. About 1 minute before serving, stir in cilantro and remaining scallions to add flavor throughout.
  • Serve stew over cooked rice.

Tips:
