more eggplant!

since my trip to turkey this summer, i have been pretty much in love with eggplant. so happy i found the blog almostturkishrecipes.blogspot.com. i've been pretty happy with all the recipes i've tried from that site, and keeping me from missing turkey too much.

the other day i made an eggplant stew with lentils, a couple tomatoes, three chilies, fresh mint, onion, garlic, and pomegranate molasses. i used japanese eggplant, since the recipe called for narrow eggplant. great with some rice and yoghurt. my mother doesn't usually like eggplant, but she liked this dish!
