I love duck meat. And other day we were lucky to find a couple of duck breasts in Market District opened recently near by (nice store by the way).
So, I got them, also eggplant and some potatoes, and cooked this nice dinner.
Any duck meat will work just fine for this stew, I was just lazy to remove bones.
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs of boneless duck (I used 2 duck breasts)
3 lbs of potatoes
1 medium eggplant
3 garlic cloves
Vegetable oil
Salt
How to prepare, step-by-step:
Prepare ingredients: I used boneless duck breasts, but any other boneless duck meat will work the same good (just assume than breast meat takes longer to cook):

Slice eggplant into pieces about ¾ inch thick, generously rub salt from both sides of each piece, put them all in the bowl and set aside for 15-20 mins:

Now it is time to add eggplants, however my frying pan wasn’t nearly as big as my eyes wanted it to be, so I moved all content from the frying pan to the bigger (and cast-iron) pot and put it over moderate low heat (but if you have big enough frying pan to hold all ingredients you can continue with it).
So, slice eggplant pieces:

Add them to the cooking pot, add 1/2 cup of water and salt to taste:

Cover pot with a lid and cook slowly until all ingredients – meat, potato and eggplants are equally cooked thought:

Then turn heat off, mix everything and serve:
