'''Eggplant Stew'''

==Ingredients==
* 10 Chicken Drumsticks
* 4-5 Large Potatoes (or 10-12 small) cut into bite size chunks
* 1 Liter of Chicken Stock (Or 2 cubes of bullion in 1 liter of hot water)
* 1 Can Tomato Sauce
* 8-10 Small Eggplant (or 3-4 Large, but the small are easier to work with)
* 1-2 Handful Pearl Onions (or 1-2 Large Onions roughly chopped)
* 1-2 Tsp Ground Cloves
* 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
* 2 Tbsp Cumin
* 1 pinch Saffron (Iranian, Indian, or Kashmiri if you can find them, otherwise Spanish will do) (Optional)
* Salt and Pepper to taste

==Directions==
# Heat Oven to 425° F.
# Using a mortar and pestle, grind the Saffron with a little (1⁄2 tsp) salt.
# Use Olive Oil to brown the onions and remove the onions from the oil.
# Use the oil to brown the drumsticks, season the browned sides with salt, pepper, and saffron.
# Add the potatoes, onions, cumin, cloves, and cinnamon and mix throughly.
# Add enough stock to cover half of the mixture and leave on low heat.
# Add 3⁄4 of the tomato sauce.
# Cut the eggplants into quarters (eighths if they are large), sprinkle salt on them and let them sit for 5-10 minutes.
# Wash the salt off the eggplant and pat them dry.
# Brush the eggplant pieces with olive oil and put them in the oven on the top rack until brown (usually 5-8 minutes).
# Lay the roasted eggplant on top of the chicken mixture and add the remainder of the tomato sauce over the top.
# Bring to a boil and turn the heat down to low. Let simmer until the potatoes and chicken are cooked (usually 10-15 minutes).
# Serve over rice.
