Curried Eggplant and Peas



Eggplant was on sale for 50 cents each! I dug through pile of "to-try" recipes and found this one from Everyday Food magazine.

Curried Eggplant and Peas
3 medium eggplants, about 1 lb each, cut into 1" cubes
1 10 oz package frozen peas
3 T fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 t curry powder
1 t ground pepper

Roast eggplant: Preheat oven to 475. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in oven, stirring a few times in between until golden and tender, about 30 minutes. (The original recipe said to use oil and salt but I simply sprayed with a little cooking spray and they were fine).

Cook 1 package frozen peas (10 oz) according to package. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2 limes) with 1 tsp curry powder and ground pepper .

Add Roasted Eggplant from above.

Add 1/2 cup chopped cashews, and 1/2 cup fresh cilantro. Toss and serve.
