Sweet Potato and Eggplant Curry

by Anja

Although I am not vegetarian, I try to eat more veggies these days. Thinking about the nutritional intake of my little Julie I tend to also eat healthier myself. And it's fun, because I am exploring so many great new recipes and very often don't miss my meat at all. I take Julie to the market and we pick a variety of organic veggies that look tempting and go home and try new recipes.

This curry recipe here is just one example of all the great dishes that make it to our table these days.

1 onion, finely chopped
1-2 tablespoons green curry paste
