Steps:
- Prepare rice. While rice is simmering, start curry.
- Heat a deep, heavy bottomed nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add oil, eggplant, onion, and bell pepper. Cover pan and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and add garlic; cook 1 minute more. Add tomatoes, chutney, curry, salt, and broth. Stir to combine and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes over low heat for flavors to combine. Remove curry from heat and stir in cilantro. Ladle eggplant curry into shallow bowls. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop rice balls into the center of bowls. Garnish your the and rice with lots of toasted sliced almonds and scallions or chives.
- Curry paste is available on the International Foods aisle of markets. The paste is deep red in color and will keep several months in the refrigerator.
- Vegetable stocks and broths are available in the soup aisle of market and are now widely available in paper containers with re-sealable spouts. If you use broths often in cooking, these paper containers are terrific to keep on-hand in your refrigerator.
- If you want to purchase just enough almonds to top this one recipe, check out the baking aisle of your market and look for either slivered or sliced almonds in a small 3-ounce pouch. Major Grey's mango chutney is available under many different brand names and can be found on both Condiment and International Foods aisles of market.
SILKY EGGPLANT WITH ALMOND SALSA AND YOGURT
Eggplant that's silky-soft and bubbly-brown all over (rather than tough, oily or fossil-like) is a revelation - and, with just a little maneuvering, it's not that hard. You'll want to sear the eggplant slices in hot oil, cover them for a minute or two, until they're soft, and then add a touch more oil until they're beautifully golden. You could, of course, eat these rounds on their own (and you might!), but spicy almond salsa, cubes of salty, crispy halloumi, and a bed of garlicky yogurt make them a full meal (especially if have warmed pita for swiping everything up). While salting the eggplant slices before you cook isn't completely necessary, it will help draw out some of the vegetable's moisture, making it less prone to bitterness and oil saturation.

Steps:
- Line a colander with paper towels or a clean dishcloth. Slice the eggplant into 3/4- to 1-inch rounds, place in the colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, until water beads on top of the eggplant.
- Meanwhile, make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the lemon juice, smashed garlic clove, 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the torn mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- In a heavy pan with high sides over medium heat, toast the chopped almonds until golden brown and fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Remove pan from the heat and transfer nuts to a medium bowl, then add the red-wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic clove and Fresno pepper. Mix and season with salt to taste.
- Set up a plate or cutting board lined with paper towels next to the stove. Wipe out the pan you were working with and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Blot the moisture from the eggplant, and when the oil is hot, add the slices in a single layer (you'll probably have to work in batches). Cook until brown, then flip, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. While browning, as the eggplant is getting dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil and cover the pan for 1 to 2 minutes. The eggplant will be fork-tender and golden brown on both sides when finished. Transfer to the paper towel-lined surface and sprinkle with salt.
- When you've finished cooking the eggplant, add the cubed cheese to the hot pan, leaving any residual oil (add a teaspoon of olive oil if there's not enough left in the pan). Sauté, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp all over. Remove pan from the heat.
- Spread the yogurt on a platter. Arrange the eggplant and halloumi on top, then scatter with almond salsa. Garnish with remaining torn mint, then sprinkle with any leftover lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita.

ALMOND-BREADED EGGPLANT PARMESAN
Eggplant "breaded" with a ground almond, flaxseed meal, and oatmeal mix. I was really impressed how the breading came out. The slices were good enough to eat on their own!

Steps:
- Peel eggplant. Cut into 1 1/2-inch wide by 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle slices with sea salt, transfer to a colander, and let sweat for at least 30 minutes. Pat slices dry.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set out 2 baking sheets.
- Beat eggs in a wide bowl. Mix ground almonds, flaxseed meal, oats, Italian seasoning, and salt together in a bowl until well combined, then transfer 1/2 of the mixture to a large plate.
- Dip eggplant slices in egg wash until completely covered. Allow excess to drain off, then dip in ground almond mixture until coated on both sides, adding more almond mixture to the plate as needed. Place on the baking sheets in a single layer.
- Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, flipping slices halfway through.
- Mix spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and zucchini together in a large bowl. Spread some sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan. Place a single layer of eggplant on top of the sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layering with sauce, eggplant, and cheeses. Sprinkle basil and Italian seasoning on top.
- Return to the oven and bake until cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

EGGPLANT WITH ALMONDS
This eggplant is great served as a side dish or as a complete meal atop bulgur wheat, or couscous. It's a savory and sweet Mediterranean dish. The almonds are a nice source of protein for vegetarians like myself. Enjoy!
