Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggplants, cut into 3-4 cm strips about 600 g
  • salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
  • 2 tsp spice mix "completo" replace for a mix of cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic and onion powder
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 big red pepper, chopped finely
  • 2 small carrots, peeled, cut lengthwise and sliced thinly into half moons
  • 2 big white potatoes, peeled, halved and sliced into half moons
  • 2 big tomatoes, chopped finely
  • 2 cups vegetable stock

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven at 220 degrees Celsius (430 Fahrenheit)
  • Start by preparing the eggplant.
    Place pieces of eggplant in a strainer with salt. "Sweat" eggplant for 15 mins, toss halfway. You will see drops of the bitter liquid coming out. If not, use more salt. Pat eggplant dry with paper towels.
    Place pieces of eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika powder and pepper. Mix well and bake in the oven at 220 degrees Celsius for 30 mins, toss halfway
  • In the meantime, prepare vegetables and the rest of the stew.
    In pot cook chopped onion, garlic and red pepper in vegetable oil for a couple of minutes on a low to medium heat, until soft.
    Add spice mix, salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes until fragrant
  • Add sliced potato and carrot, chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, turn low and let simmer with a lid for 20 mins until the carrot and potato are almost cooked
  • By now the oven-baked eggplant will be ready as well. Place the eggplant in the pot with the rest of the stew and let simmer for about 10-15 additional minutes for the flavors to come together. Adjust seasoning if necessary
  • Serve with white rice and/or with a salad
