Job loves curry, especially curry with eggplant. I've made pineapple curry, which was good and probably the easiest curry to make. I thought I would try a different kind. I found this recipe on-line. It doesn't have meat, but you can put meat in it if you want to. Job also likes his saucier so he can "sop" his rice in it. I added extra coconut milk.
In a saucepan combine 1 lb eggplant and 2 tablespoons oil. Cook for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 3-4 tablespoons of coconut milk with 1 tablespoons ginger, 1 teaspoon ginger and 1 tablespoon red curry paste.
To the saucepan, add 1 lb green beans (i cut mine into smaller pieces), 1 red onion, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar and 1 13.5 oz can coconut milk (more if you want it saucier).
Stir in your curry paste mixture and simmer for about 8 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup thai or sweet basil leaves and 2 teaspoons lime juice.
Serve with rice.
This was actually really easy and better than I thought I could make. It makes me want to try more currys, especially since my husband is a fan of them.
I would rate it about an 8 because I think there might be a better red curry recipe and my eggplant was soft to begin with.
mmmm... this looks really good. Really cute blog too! Hope you're having fun with it.
