Steps:
- For the chicken: Combine the olive oil, sumac, salt, granulated garlic, pepper and lemon zest and juice in a large shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken thighs and mix to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- For the eggplant and naan: Use a paring knife to make crosshatch marks on the flesh side of each eggplant half. Drizzle both sides of the eggplant with oil and sprinkle with sumac, salt and pepper.
- Preheat a grill for cooking over direct and indirect medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill, flipping once, until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, grill the eggplant, starting flesh-side down, for 5 minutes. Flip and cook 5 minutes more, then move to indirect heat to cook until tender, an 5 additional minutes.
- Turn one of the burners to high heat. Lightly brush both sides of naan bread with olive oil and grill over high heat, flipping frequently, until slightly charred and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes total.
- For the yogurt tahini sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, tahini, parsley, honey, olive oil, cumin and lemon juice in a bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange chicken and eggplant on a platter. Drizzle with honey and olive oil. Top with fresh mint and parsley leaves. Serve with yogurt tahini sauce and grilled naan bread on the side.

Steps:
- Salt the eggplant generously and leave in a colander to sweat for 15 to 30 minutes, while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Rinse and drain on a clean kitchen towel.
- Place the garlic in a mortar with 1/4 teaspoon salt and mash to a paste. Add the ginger and chiles, and continue to mash with the garlic. In another small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat, until a drop of water evaporates immediately upon contact. Add 1 tablespoon oil, turn the heat down to medium-high, and add the garlic paste. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, and add the chicken. Stir-fry for three to four minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no traces of pink remain. Transfer from the pan or wok to a plate or bowl.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the eggplant. Cook, stirring, until the eggplant is lightly browned and almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Stir the chicken back into the pan, and add the fish and soy sauce mixture. Add 1/4 cup water, cover the wok or pan, turn the heat down to medium and steam for five minutes. Uncover, and stir in the basil leaves. Stir for 30 seconds to a minute, remove from the heat and serve with rice.

Steps:
- Prepare eggplant. Cut into large cubes, salt over colander to remove bitterness (at least 15 minutes).Put into top half of steamer, steam until tender and translucent, about fifteen minutes. .
- Make sauce. Add all listed ingredients and mix with fork until corn starch dissolved. Set aside. .
- Heat coconut oil in large saucepan. Saute half the garlic in coconut oil. Add minced chicken, cooking until light brown. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. .
- Add olive oil to pan. Saute remaining two cloves garlic. .
- Add steamed eggplant, stirring briskly to avoid sticking. Add beef or chicken broth to pan. Add green onions, and add back cooked minced chicken. . Pour prepared sauce over mixture, cook about two minutes until sauce thickens and eggplant begins to fall apart. Serve over steamed rice.
- Ingredient Notes:.
- Tamari Ginger Sauce:.
- I use Whole Foods Ginger Tamari sauce as a shortcut for first three ingredients. It is in the refrigerator case of produce section.
- Minced Chicken:.
- I use my Vitamix to mince chicken by covering breasts with water, then using Variable speed 4 for about 30 seconds to mince, and drain water. Don't use packaged ground chicken, the right consistency of the chicken is the essence of the dish. If you don't have a strong blender, then ask the people at the meat counter to mince.
- Coconut Oil:.
- Coconut oil is available at most markets and health food stores. This is one of the keys to getting the right taste. Don't confuse with the more widely used coconut milk.
