Weekday Eggplant Curry
Ready in 45 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients:
● 3 tbsp vegetable oil
● 1 thumb-size piece of ginger, peeled and
grated
● 1 apple, peeled, cored and grated
● 1 large onion, sliced thin
● 1 large carrot (about 3 smaller carrots),
peeled and chopped
● 2 medium gold potatoes, rinsed and
chopped
● 1 eggplant (2 if using smaller variety)
● 5 c water
● 1 box of Japanese curry roux (Golden
Curry is most accessible)
● Most any leftover vegetable, fresh or
frozen, can also be added to increase
portion and reduce food waste!
● 2 steamable rice packs
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Wash eggplant and pat dry, coat
liberally in cooking oil and season
skin with salt and pepper.
3. Place seasoned eggplant on a baking
tray lined with parchment paper,
place into the oven and set a timer for
30 minutes.
4. In a large pot over medium-high heat,
add about 2T of oil, then add the
grated ginger and apple. Stir and cook
until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the sliced onion and cook until
soft and translucent.
6. Add the water, chopped carrots, and
chopped potato. Stir occasionally
until boiling, then lower heat to a
simmer. Cover and cook for about 20
minutes.
7. Break curry roux into pieces and stir
into the pot until completely melted.
If the sauce looks too clear, add more
cubes.
8. By this point, the eggplant should be
shriveling and very easily pierced
with a fork. If not, let it go another
5-10 minutes.
9. Once cool enough to handle, add the
eggplant to the curry by holding it at
the stem and scraping the cooked
vegetable either onto a cutting board
to be further chopped, or directly into
the pot, depending on preference.
10. Heat rice packs and enjoy!

The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
