Dinner at Home
Neither of us are particularly fond of eggplant, but we got one in our organic delivery box, so we had to figure out a good way to use it.
Morrocan Chicken Stew
This recipe was adapted from something Alexis found on Epicurious.com. It was pretty good. Nice and tangy.

-6 chicken thighs
-1 eggplant, cubed
-6 tomatos, diced
-1 onion, diced
-10 cloves garlic, minced
-juice of 2 limes
-1 cup water
-1 ts each: turmeric, cumin, marjoram, fennel, coriander, paprika
-salt and pepper to taste
-1/2 cup chopped almonds
Spread the eggplant cubes on a cookie sheet. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake on 400 for 25 minutes, until soft and brown. At the same time, sautee onions and garlic over medium high heat in a bit of olive oil until brown, stirring constantly. Add the spices and sautee for another minute or so. Add the tomatos and water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Add the eggplant and lime juice and simmer, uncovered, until a thick stew has formed. Sprinkle with almonds and serve.
