Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 medium eggplants
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root
2 cloves crushed garlic
4 tablespoons soy sauce
8 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon coriander seeds
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon chili powder
½ cup coconut milk
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Cut eggplant into 1 inch chunks. Thread eggplant and mushrooms onto 8 wooden or metal skewers. Place vegetable skewers in a nonporous, shallow dish, and spoon the marinade over everything. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • To make marinade: Mix together ground cumin, ground coriander, grated ginger, and 2 cloves crushed garlic in a large skillet or wok. Stir over high heat until fragrant. Remove from heat, and stir in soy sauce, oil, and lemon juice.
  • To make peanut sauce: In a food processor, grind cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and 3 cloves garlic. Combine with onion, lemon juice, salt, chili powder, coconut milk, and peanut butter in a small saucepan. Stir in water. Simmer over medium low heat until it becomes a thick sauce. Transfer peanut sauce to a serving bowl.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  • Remove skewers from marinade, and place on grill. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
