You need:

 2 medium eggplants

 ½ medium onion, sliced
 1 clove garlic
 1 tsp shrimp paste
 Salt and pepper to taste

How to make:

1. Wash the eggplants and cut them in 12 inch cubes or slice in strips 2 inches wide.

2. Heat oil and fry onions, garlic and shrimp paste.

3. Add the eggplant slices, stir and cover the pan. Simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. If the juice is insufficient, add 4 cups of water.

5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sauted eggplant is ready to serve.

The following text is for questions 5 to 8.

 1. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes. Cutting the meat into same-sized chunks will help it grind more
quickly, easily and uniformly.
2. Partially freeze the cubes. Spread the cubes out on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making
sure they don’t touch. Freeze until the edges are stiff, but the middles are still pliable, about 20
minutes. This will help the food processor blade cut the meat cleanly, rather than tearing or
smearing it.
3. Grind the meat in batches. Fill your food processor about half-way (roughly 8 ounces of meat)
and grind it in about 8-10 one-second pulses, until it looks coarsely ground. Empty the meat into
a bowl and repeat with the remaining meat. |
4. Check the meat. Check through the meat for large pieces. Regrind pieces of meat and discard
any tough gristle.
5. Use immediately or freeze. We usually grind enough for the recipe we’re making. You can also
freeze any extra for another time, which is handy if you find a good bargain on meat and for
quick meals.
