This fun recipe came to me late this summer. I was looking for something to do with the abundance of eggplant that graced our presence. I love eggplant parmesann, but there’s only so much parmesann that one can eat before you start to go a little crazy. At least that’s what Chuck said, and so the quest for fun new eggplant recipes began.
It was an awakening for me as to just how versatile this vegetable can be. I’m super excited to keep experimenting, I have quite the list of eggplant recipes waiting in the wings now. Everything from fries, roulade, to stews like this one have been on the roster lately, and there is more to come.
This particular recipe was a winner recently on a chilly fall day. The deep, spicy flavors of this stew-like dish make it the perfect warm-up for this kind of crisp fall evening. It’s very aromatic which is great since it fills the house with warming spicy scents that entice the whole family to come to the table sooner rather than later.

This looks incredible! Nice that there’s no sugar or gluten added. Perfect for Autumn….cozy and delicious. Beautiful photos too. I didn’t grow any eggplant this year, so I’m going to look for one at the Farmers Market. Hope you are well! – Mary Jane
