Its new year and inevitable every year there is always an article about what foods are eaten on Jan 1st for good luck. And in the South of the USA, Black Eyed Peas are eaten.
I have a couple of Black Eyed recipes from before
Turkey Sausage with Black Eyed Peas
But this time I made with the roasted eggplants and yum yum yum is all I have to say
Roasted Eggplant and Black Eyed Peas (Black eyed peas cooked with roasted eggplant with Indian Spices)
Roasted Eggplant and Black Eyed Peas
Ingredients:
- 1 medium eggplant horizontally sliced and drizzled with a bit of an oil and roasted on an open flame for 5 minutes on each side ( I roast them on my stove top flame)
- 1 can black eyed peas drained or 1 cup dried black eyed peas soaked over night and cooked in a cooker for 3 whistles with 2 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon each of salt, cumin, red chilli powder
- 2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 medium onion chopped fine
- 1 teaspoon graded ginger
- chopped fresh coriander/cilantro for garnish
- 1 tablespoon oil
Leave the roasted eggplant covered in a plate for 5- 10 minutes. Scrape the meat out of the skin and mash it so that there is are no big pieces or long strands of flesh.
In an pan heat the oil and add the chopped onions and fry until they start becoming brown. Add the ginger and give it a quick stir. Add the roasted eggplant and all the spices and mix well. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the drained black eyed peas and 1 cup water or the contents of the cooker. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy on a New Year's day with Roti or Rice
