Eggplant Stew Recipes

COZY EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a large pot with the oil and place it over medium heat.
• Give the oil a minute to heat up, then add the eggplant and onion. Give everything a stir to coat the veggies evenly with the oil.
• Cook the eggplant and onion for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the eggplant is very tender.
• Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and cook everything for about a minute, until the garlic becomes very fragrant.
• Stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, and chickpeas. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.
• Lower the heat and allow the stew to simmer for about 30 minutes, until the eggplant is very tender and the stew has thickened up a bit, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the spinach and cook the stew for about 3 minutes more, until the spinach has wilted.
• Remove the pot from heat and season the stew with salt and pepper to taste.
• Ladle into bowls and serve.

PERSIAN EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Sprinkle 2 teaspoons salt over eggplant.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook eggplants until soft and browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in stew meat, beef bouillon, cumin, and saffron; cook meat until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste until well mixed.
• Pour water and tomato sauce into the saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced by half, about 2 hours 20 minutes. Stir in eggplants. Cook until heated through, about 10 minutes.

EGGPLANT AND TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• Roast the eggplant in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until soft, about 45 minutes.
• Remove all the meat from the eggplant.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil, and saute onions and garlic. Add the eggplant. Add all other ingredients, except the parsley. Remove from the heat and place in a food processor.
• Pulse until it becomes creamy.
• Serve at room temperature, garnished with parsley and served with crispy lavash crackers as a starter.

QUICK AND HEARTY EGGPLANT STEW

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.

SPICED EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Wipe the eggplants, cut the stems from them, and cut them into fat chunks. The dish will be more interesting to eat if you don't cut them too small. Put them into a colander, set in the sink, and sprinkle sea salt over them. Leave them for a good half hour, longer if you can.
• Peel and coarsely chop the onions, then cook them with the oil in a large pan over medium heat until they are soft, translucent, and sweet.
• While the onions are cooking, crush the cardamom pods with the flat blade of a knife or a rolling pin and shake out the little black seeds into a mortar or spice grinder (or a clean coffee grinder). Add the coriander seeds and the peppercorns and grind them to a coarse powder. The smell as you grind will convince you that there is much to be missed in buying ready-ground spices.
• Thinly slice the garlic. Peel the ginger and cut it into thin, matchsticklike shards. Stir the garlic and ginger into the onions along with the turmeric and ground spices. Peel and seed the tomatoes and add them to the pan.
• Rinse the eggplants of their salt and pat dry. Without oiling them, grill them on a ridged cast-iron grill pan until they are starting to soften and have dark grill lines across them. Turn them as you go, so that they are cooked on both sides, removing them as they are ready and replacing them with another batch. Add them to the onions, then pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Add the coconut milk, chiles, and a little salt and continue cooking at a simmer for about forty-five minutes. The eggplants should be very soft and silky but not actually falling apart.
• Lift out the eggplants, tomatoes, and some of the onion with a slotted spoon. Reduce the rest of the sauce by boiling hard for five minutes or so. Now ladle most, but not all, of the sauce into a blender and blitz until smooth and thick (take care to cover the top before you turn it on, the sauce is very hot). Return the vegetables and the sauce to the pot, then chop the mint and cilantro leaves and stir them in, together with a final seasoning of salt and black pepper. Serve with rice.

BASIC ITALIAN EGGPLANT STEW

Steps:

• Cube the eggplant and toss with lemon juice promptly to prevent browning. Toss cubes with salt and leave to rest in a strainer for 30 to 60 minutes.
• While the cubes rest, brown the ground turkey and onions in a large deep pan. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and pepper to the pot and simmer over low heat.
• Rinse the cubes very well and press them firmly with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible.
• Combine eggplant with the sauce and cook for 20-30 minutes over medium-low heat. The longer you cook the stew, the softer the eggplant will become.
• The mixture can also be baked in the oven at 375 degrees for 5-40 minutes or on low in the crockpot for 4 to 6 hours.

• Drain the potatoes, and rinse with cold water. Peel off the skin.
• Cut the potatoes into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces and set aside.
