Eggplant and Sausage Stir-Fry
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe book at www.dorothymcnett.com. This is a nice side dish to serve at a brunch or buffet party as it does not need to be served hot out of the stir fry pan. Let it cool a bit and toss everything together with some fresh salad greens, serve in a beautiful bowl.
1-2 thin Japanese eggplants, or 1 medium
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut or olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced finely
1/4 teaspoon paprika or Zip
2-3 smoked chinese sausage or chicken-apple sausage
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
snipped fresh parsley or cilantro
Wash eggplant, peel it if you desire but it is not necessary. Slice evenly into 1/2 inch slices. Place on plate and sprinkle with soy sauce, oil, garlic, and Zip. Heat wok or stir fry pan. Slice sausage into 1/2 inch slices and cook and stir several minutes to brown slightly and to develop the flavor. You may need to add a little oil, maybe not. Add the eggplant mixture and cook and stir several minutes until the eggplant becomes soft, but still firm. Add peanuts and cilantro and serve.
