since some less than complimentary mod changed the name of my last cooking thread i've been burning with desire to produce a new meal, but time constraints (and possibly the fact that the maid cooks great food everynight) has hindered my efforts,
neway - 2nites the nite! look forward to a culinary delight!

Jaysus mary and joseph - could we stay on topic please.
ok ok - here we go....
first some ingredients

i wanted to make a mousaka when i saw those eggplants - but alas the shop didnt have any pasta sheets - so that will have to wait for another day. but i figure they'll be good for a spagetti bol anyway
first thing ya gotta do is slice and scour the eggplant and cover in salt - this helps reduce the bitterness of them. leave for 20 mins.

next slice the onions, mash some garlic and chillies...
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...CT0003%7E0.JPG
gotta use good olive oil. splash some in a pan, lightly heat the chillies, onions and garlic.

then lightly brown the meat, i used some premium grade beef mince...

then u need to also do the same to the eggplant in a separate pan. splash of oil and fry till golden - then add it to the meat.

add the tin of tomato paste, some red wine, mushrooms (i didnt have any this time :( ) tomatoes some bay leaves....
https://teakdoor.com/Gallery/albums/u...l_PICT0009.JPG
the good thing about the wine is you must drink some as well - i think i added about 2/3's of a glass

then simmer for a bit until the sauce is reduced (means the liquids evaporates off)
