Spiced Eggplant and Tomatoes

Ingredients: Makes 4 servings

1 pound eggplant
1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ounces diced spanish onion
1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and prepare with nonstick spray.

3. Add oil to a large saute pan and place over medium heat. Add cumin seed, garlic, and ginger and saute until golden brown. Add onions, salt, and ground coriander and continue to saute until golden brown and fragrant.
4. Add tomatoes, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes. Add eggplant and peas. Stirring constantly, cook an additional 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
