Easy Black Eyed Peas With Eggplant Curry Food

BLACK EYED PEA CURRY WITH SWISS CHARD & ROASTED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F to roast your eggplant. Simple cut it lengthwise in half, lightly cut diagonals from one side of the flesh to the other (both ways), careful not to cut all he way through the skin. This will make for easy scooping of the flesh. Lightly rub each half with the minced garlic (1/2 tsp each) and then roast in the oven for about 30 minutes.
• Once roasted, scoop out the flesh and quickly process it and the chopped onion in a food processor to get a smooth texture.
• Now, in a large greased skillet, simply throw in all the ingredients and the eggplant puree, mix. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 10 minutes, stirring everything halfway through.
