Stir-fried Eggplant
It cracks me up when I walk into our gym every day to find MasterChef Australia on the television. Here are all these people on their treadmills, cycles and ellipticals working out and burning these mean calories, and what's on TV? a mouth watering and fattening food show. I enjoy reading when I am busy burning those calories, but for a foodie like me, a food show can never be ignored. I saw this on the show and made it after I got home. I always have coriander and spring onions in my fridge, they add so much flavour to the dish, even if its for a garnish. Since eggplant is a favorite veggie in our household, a new recipe is always welcome with an open heart and a hungry belly!
