Eggplant and Potato Stew

This was another meal that I made for Jake, I did not eat this meal. I know you should probably never tell people that you don't eat things but everyone has some kinds of foods that they don't like too much. I like eggplant grilled but that's about it. Jake has decided he likes eggplant and COULD be a vegetarian if need be.

Eggplant and Potato Stew 

• 3 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 1 Tbs garlic, minced 
• 1/4 Tsp red pepper flakes
• 3 Large tomatoes, diced 
• 1/2 Cup vegetable broth 
• 2 Tbs tomato paste 
• 2 Large potatoes, diced
• 1 Large eggplant, diced 
• 1/2 Cup celery leaves
• 1/2 Tsp salt

Add olive oil to pan and place onions in oil until translucent then add garlic, pepper flakes, tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Add rest and cook until tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 10 minutes. 

The stew was a hearty vegetarian meal, with a little kick of spice.The sweet tomatoes with the soft potatoes made the eggplant really stick out. Every spoonful had a little bit of everything in this dish and paired wonderfully. Join me tomorrow for a Hearty Vegetable Soup, perfect for a nice cold day.
