Week two challenge!

My sister and I spent the last couple of days together and we managed to cook both our challenges! Sooo much fun and sooooooo yummy!!! I´ll post pictures as soon as I locate the camera cord thingy! Promise:)

So I´ve rummaged through my 700 or so cookbooks and decided on a recipe from one of my favourites. This is a gorgeous gorgeous book given to me by one of my dearest friends. It´s called A Year in a Vegetarian Kitchen by Jack Bishop. Link;

So here goes!

Curried Eggplant and Mango Stew
Serves 4

4 medium eggplants, (about 2 pounds) cut into 1/2 inch dice
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and thinly sliced
2 tbs minced ginger
2 tsp curry powder
salt
1 firm mango, peeled pitted and diced
2 tbs lime juice
fresh cilantro leaves

Place the diced eggplant in a large bowl of cold water and soak for 10 minutes

Heat the oil in a large casserole, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, abt 7 minutes. Add the ginger and curry powder and cook until fragrant.

Drain the eggplant and add to the casserole along salt to taste. Cook over medium/low heat until almost tender, abt 15 minutes.

Add the mango and continue cooking until eggplant is tender and mango is heated through and soft, abt 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and cilantro, adjust the seasoning adding salt to taste, and serve :) Serve with rice or naan.
