EGGPLANT + JACKFRUIT THAI GREEN CURRY 🌱 Love making this incredibly flavorful dish for a quick weekday dinner and having leftovers for the week! 😋.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/3 onion, chopped
- 2-3 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 eggplant, peeled
- 1 can of jackfruit, drained
- 3 tbsp Thai green curry paste (I used thai kitchen)
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1/2 can of chickpeas
- 1-2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of lime to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Sauté chopped onion, garlic and bell pepper in olive oil for 5-10 min. Add jackfruit, season with salt and pepper, and cook down for an additional 5-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, peel eggplant and cut into 1 inch cubes. Toss in olive oil and roast in oven or air fryer at 400 for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Add coconut milk and curry paste to the sautéd veggies and gently whisk together. Season to taste again (salt, pepper, cumin and lime juice).
4. Add chickpeas and roasted eggplant and let simmer until mixture thickens to your desired consistency. I’ll sometimes add a few tsp of flour if I want it thicker.
5. Plate with rice and top with cilantro (or whatever greens you have!)
✨ ENJOY!✨
