Eggplant and Peas Stew Recipe
This recipe was invented by my good friend Brian Bedrosian. He recommends that you "Should drink red wine while cooking and eating for best results." I haven't tried this one yet...but every other Armenian concoction I've tasted of Brian's has been outstanding!

The combination of eggplant with onions and tomatoes is classic, but the Armenian variation adding green peas and black cumin sounds very good.
