Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound dried black beans, picked through
4 dried pasilla chiles or New Mexico chile peppers, stemmed (remove seeds for less heat)
3 bay leaves
4 large cloves garlic, diced
3 dried cascabel or guajillo chile peppers, stemmed (remove seeds for less heat)
2 dried chipotle chile peppers, stemmed (remove seeds for less heat)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 poblano chile pepper, diced
1 small eggplant (1 pound), cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Kosher salt
1/2 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon
1/2 cup dried green lentils
Juice of 2 Key limes (or the juice of 1 lime)

Steps:

  • Put the black beans in a large bowl and cover with cold water; set aside to soak overnight, then drain.
  • Combine the soaked black beans, 2 pasilla chiles, the bay leaves and half of the garlic in a large wide pot and add enough water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until soft, about 1 1/2 hours; remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add the remaining 2 pasilla chiles and the cascabel and chipotle chiles to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, the chopped dried chiles and the cumin and saute until the chiles are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and the poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 more minutes. Add the eggplant, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the crushed and diced tomatoes, 4 cups water, the bouillon and green lentils to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are almost tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the prepared black beans and their cooking liquid and simmer until the lentils are soft, about 30 more minutes. (The longer you let the chili simmer, the thicker it will get.) Season with salt and add the lime juice. Remove the whole pasilla chiles and bay leaves before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (1 1/2 pound) eggplant
4 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons water
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger root
¼ pound fresh shrimp - peeled, deveined, and diced
⅓ pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Remove the eggplant stem and cut into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, chicken stock, chili sauce, sugar, ground black pepper and oyster sauce. Stir together well and set aside. In a separate small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water, and set aside.
  • Coat a large, deep pan with cooking spray over high heat and allow a few minutes for it to get very hot. Saute the garlic, half of the green onions, ginger and dried shrimp, if using (see Cook's Note) for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until they begin to brown. Stir in the ground beef or pork and cook for 3 more minutes, again stirring constantly, until browned.
  • Pour the eggplant into the pan and stir all together. Pour the reserved soy sauce mixture over all, cover the pan, reduce heat to medium low and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you're using fresh shrimp, add it during the last few minutes of cooking. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and let heat until thickened. Finally, stir in the rest of the green onions and the sesame oil.
  • Serve over hot rice.

  • Soak the eggplant in water: Soaking the eggplant in water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove the bitterness.
  • Cook the eggplant over medium heat: Cooking the eggplant over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the eggplant from sticking.
  • Add the prawns at the end of cooking: Adding the prawns at the end of cooking will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the dish immediately: Eggplant with chili prawns is best served immediately after cooking.
