I love eggplant wholeheartedly at it does not appear to love me back, since it refuses to look pretty for the camera.
If I had a nickle for every time I started a recipe with “roasted eggplant…” I’d be…
wealthy enough to afford more eggplant. Point is, I love the stuff. It’s still winter squash season, and I have NOT given up on my second love; however, when a wonderfully kind gentleman brings you a 5 lb bag of eggplant, you squeal like a pig. Then promptly run home to cook eggplant. Eggplant will always have a special place in my heart, because, unlike winter squash, you don’t have to peel it before you cook it. Which means no bloody fingers. No time wasted searching for band-aids and settling on a combination of paper towels and electrical tape.
This recipe is ridiculously easy. I almost wanted to add more steps to liven it up, but I can’t. Those truly are the only steps.
Also, much to my despair, the husband walked over the crockpot and ate half the dish- directly out the crockpot. I’m amazed he bothered with using silverware. I’m assuming that means it was edible. I can’t confirm, however, since he wouldn’t stop eating.


- 2 cups eggplant, diced
- 1 tbsp Irish butter
- 3 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup onions, diced
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 stalk green onion
- 8 oz deer sausage, sliced
- 1. Roast eggplant with butter and garlic.*
- 2. Add beef stock, kale, green onion, and deer sausage; cook until sausage is fully cooked.
- *Use any method desired to roast eggplant. On this particular occasion, I had no desire to wash additional dishes so I utilized my crockpot to roast the eggplant. I simply added the butter, garlic, and eggplant; set the crockpot on HIGH; and mixed up the crockpot contents every 10 minutes or so, until all the eggplant bits had darkened.
