Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into 1cm chunks. • Place eggplant on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, bring brown rice and the water to the boil over high heat. • Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until rice is soft, 25-30 minutes. • Drain and return to saucepan.
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop onion and garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop Asian greens.
• When the eggplant has 10 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, carrot and brown mustard seeds, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and Bengal curry paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add coconut milk to the frying pan and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 minutes. • Stir through the roasted eggplant and Asian greens until just wilted, 1 minute. Season generously to taste.
• Divide brown rice between bowls and top with roasted eggplant Bengal curry. • Garnish with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
