INSTRUCTIONS

8 SERVINGS VEGAN
The small Japanese eggplants have a milder, sweeter flavor than the big
boys. They are narrow, 6 to 8 inches long, and range in color from deep
purple to white. For this recipe, the eggplants are slit lengthwise, filled
with a mixture of caramelized onions, peanuts, spices and fresh herbs, then
gently cooked, making them exceptionally succulent.
Slit eggplants lengthwise with 2 cuts, about 1/2 inch apart, keeping the
stem end intact. Place them in a bowl of cold water for about 10 minutes to
open cuts slightly and to avoid discoloration.
Meanwhile, in small heavy skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium
heat. Add onion and jalapenos and cook, stirring often, until onion is
soft, 5 minutes. Add turmeric, coconut and peanuts and cook, stirring
often, 4 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, curry powder, salt and cilantro and
cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to
cool slightly.
Remove eggplants from water and pat dry. Stuff each eggplant with about I
tablespoon of stuffing mixture by gently inserting it into the slits.
Heat a nonstick skillet, large enough to hold all eggplants in a single
layer, over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil; when oil is hot, transfer
stuffed eggplants to pan. Drizzle remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil over
eggplants. Cover and cook until lightly browned on one side, 6 to 8
minutes. Gently turn eggplants, reduce heat to low, cover and cook until
tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
