Soak peas overnight (Marks note, soaking black-eyed peas before
cooking is unnecessary). Simmer in fresh water for 15 minutes. Drain
& reserve cooking water. Slice eggplant into rounds 1/2" thick &
place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt & let stand 5 minutes. Heat
oil in casserole. Brown eggplant with 1 tb chopped onions, 1 tb
chopped ginger, 1 jalapeno, whole garlic & bell pepper for 5 minutes.

& pepper sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add peas, carrots & rice.

time, allow a good 20 minutes before adding the green beans &
eggplant).
