Name: Eggplant Rice Dressing- Cajun
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 2 lbs chicken or 2 lbs beef; 1 large eggplant, peeled and chopped; 1 onion, chopped; 2 bell peppers, chopped; 4 large garlic cloves, minced; 1/2 cup green onion, chopped; 2 cups chicken broth (or 1 can plus a little water); 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste; 1 tablespoon season salt, to taste (I use Tony Cachere's which is spicier but you can use Season All which has no heat or cayenne); 3 cups brown rice, cooked (measured after it's cooked) or 3 cups white rice, if preferred

Servings: persons

2 2 lbs chicken or 2 lbs beef
1 large eggplant, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 bell peppers, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth (or 1 can plus a little water)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste
1 tablespoon season salt, to taste (I use Tony Cachere's which is spicier but you can use Season All which has no heat or cayenne)
3 cups brown rice, cooked (measured after it's cooked) or 3 cups white rice, if preferred

1
Brown ground meat and drain well. Rinse with water if desired. Reduce heat and add eggplant, onions, bell peppers, garlic and green onions. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
2
Add the broth and just a little water if needed so that it almost covers the mixture. Stir in seasoning and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes or until it has reached a desirable consistency. I like to have some liquid left in the bottom when I add the rice.
3
Stir in cooked rice until well mixed and the remaining liquid has absorbed into the rice as much as you want. Serve hot as a side dish or a main dish.
4
Note: For those who like lots of heat this is great served with tabasco or other hot sauce or even a sauce piquant! Ces' si bon!
