Still Moving!

We are day three of moving in and I almost have the kitchen all set! I was able to cook today, bademjan. It's a persian stew served over rice. So, here's the process:
I browned beef cubes with onion, salt and pepper
- After the meat is brown, combine in a pot with 1 can chicken broth and 1 can tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, cinnamon
- Put a sauce pot 1/2 full with water with a little salt (simmer)
- Start sauteing (sp?) sliced, peeled eggplant
- Once the water starts to boil, pour in 2 cups of basmati rice
- Cut the cooked eggplant slices into bite size pieces and pour into pot mix, reduce temp to low
- Drain the rice when 1/2 cooked
- Return the pot to the burner on low, add some olive oil then add the drained rice, cover with 2 paper towels and lid
- Once the towel is wet around the edge, the rice is done
- Serve the stew over the rice and enjoy!

Hope you like it, it's maybe one of my favorite dishes and pretty healthy!
