Carpetright have just launched a gorgeous product range designed by the experts at House Beautiful magazine. They asked me to contribute a recipe and some wise words about achieving a beautiful life through cooking and eating well. Well, let’s just say the recipe part was easy. But wise words are not really my strong suit.
Chinese Eggplant Stir Fry with Prawns and Green Peppers

I have been thinking about the dramatic impact cooking and sharing food has made on my life lately. I have always loved cooking and baking and grew up in a family where food was celebrated and enjoyed in a really big way. But it’s not until I started this blog that I realised my interest in cooking was more of a passion and something that ignited something else – my love of food photography. Cooking food is now my meditation and stress release, a creative outlet as well as a way to nourish myself and my family. It brings enormous joy to my life and, hopefully, the lives of others too.

It has also taken over my life and mostly all of my house as well. Our (not so new anymore) kitchen is now also a permanent photography studio. My son says things like ‘photoshoot’ and ‘props’ at 5 years old.  But much as the disruption is not always welcomed by others (=my poor suffering husband) it has opened up so many doors and opportunities for me.

Riverford supplied me with one of their fabulous recipe boxes and I took one look at the ingredients and was inspired to create this reipe. If you have ever had aubergines (eggplant) stuffed with prawns at a Chinese restaurant, you will know how well these two go together. This quickly thrown together stir fry is delicious, low fat, and better than any takeaway.

This post was created in association with CarpetRight. Check out their competition for a chance to win a Riverford recipe box  plus £700 of CarpetRight vouchers.

    I'd love to try this recipe but I'm a bit confused by the instructions. Do you actually marinade anything in the marinade, or is it just a sauce? The instructions say to add half the marinade to the wok, but what about the other half? Seems like a waste of ingredients so I think I must be missing something. Also, there are no chillies in the marinade ingredient list, but the instructions say to add them to it. On the other hand, ginger is listed as an ingredient but not mentioned in the instructions. Keen to try, but not sure I've quite understood this recipe!

      Thanks for pointing this out – it is me who is probably missing something! I will go through the recipe and amend it. Thanks for your patience!

    What an absolutely stunning dish! I'm not a big fan of prawns but for this meal, I'd overlook that! Goodness me!

    That looks delicious Lucy – I'd make it veggie with something like shitake mushrooms instead of prawns, but love this sort of food. Your photos are always so beautiful!
