Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion -- minced
2 cloves garlic -- minced
2 teaspoons grated ginger root
4 1/2 cups chopped eggplant -- about 1 pound
1 cup water
salt -- to taste
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 pinch chipotle chile powder

The Night Before: heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and saute the onion until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes longer. Combine the sauteed onion, grated ginger, and cut-up eggplant in an airtight container and store in the fridge.

In the Morning: combine the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

Yield: 6 servings
Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 6 to 8 hours

AuthorNote: when eggplant cooks down it gets an almost creamy consistency. Add extra chipotle chile powder to make it spicier, or use a different type of chili to omit the smokiness.
Serve over brown rice.
