I decided to make an eggplant stew the past weekend. With all the Hurricane preparation going on, I couldn't find any eggplant. So I got one normal eggplant, 2 Japanese and the rest were zucchini. I followed Najmieh Batmanghilij's recipe in "The Food of Life" Book.

So at first I made my stew with chicken. The mistake that I made was that I didn't follow her recipe too close so I added more water than needed. That caused the stew to be a bit blend.

Then I fried the eggplants and zucchinis exactly as she described in her book.

Then put everything in a Pyrex and covered with aluminum foil and put in the oven.

The result was fantastic, I only wish that I wouldn't put so much water in the stew.
