Basil eggplant is a simple recipe, and this version substantially reduces the unnecessary oil that usually plagues eggplant dishes. The basil and chile pepper turn the basic eggplant into something exciting. Use either the long, thin Japanese eggplants or the big purple globe/Italian eggplants. We love this recipe – even without the chile peppers. And we always serve with Jasmine rice.

The duck breasts are marinated in a mixture of apricot preserve, sherry vinegar, cumin and cayenne pepper to boost the flavor. Grilling gives the breasts extra deliciousness. Easy yet tasty.
