Eggplant in a Pot

A pretty standard dish in my mother's kitchen, but it gets creative when I start cooking it. Easy to cook and if inspired by the Muse, very tasty, too.

Ingredients:

0.5 kg of eggplants, chopped big
0.25 kg of lean red meat, chopped
2 spoons full of oil
1 mid size onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 American size green pepper or a handful of Turkish size green peppers, diced. Red pepper works well, too. I add one for taste.
1 spoon full of tomato paste, mixed with enough water to make it runny
1 clove of garlic, diced

  1. Put onion, carrot, greenpepper, oil and meat and stir fry until the meat releases its juices and then all juice is gone.
  2. Add tomato paste. Stir for a minute.
  3. Add eggplants, salt, garlic, water enough to almost cover the ingredients.
  4. Leave to simmer until carrots are edible.

I'll let you know how it tastes. :)

Note from relative future: It's delicious!
