Nothing terribly special about this recipe, except that it's just really good!

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3+ cloves garlic, minced
• 2 smallish eggplants - chopped, salted for 30+ minutes, rinsed, squeezed
• 1 cup brown lentils, soaked in hot water while waiting for the eggplant
• 2 tbsp curry
• generous pinch ground coriander seed
• vegetable stock (water to almost cover, 2 vegetable bullion cubes)
• ~ 2/3 can coconut milk

Instructions:

1. Saute onion, carrot, garlic in some olive oil.
2. Add eggplant, curry, coriander, lentils, stock to almost cover (I used as little water as possible because I wanted a thick curry - and you add the "˜milk later.)
3. Bring to a boil, simmer until lentils are done to taste (about 20 minutes for me).
4. Stir in coconut milk.

Notes:

• Modified from this recipe.
• Serve with rice or another grain. Or not - it's plenty tasty all by itself!
