If you are a big fan of eggplant and basil, this recipe is for you! This dish is very typical in South-East Asia. You can find many versions of it, some with minced pork, some with tofu, and some more spicy than others. We decided to keep it very simple with a few ingredients for the maximum of flavours! This Holy Basil Eggplant recipe will go perfectly well with our organic & wildlife-friendly White or Semi-Milled Jasmine Rice!
