Mediterranean Eggplant Dish
Delish Mediterranean eggplant dish with garlic, onion, and tomato paste.
Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Slice eggplant thinly lengthwise, salt it well, and let it sit for a while.
- 2
Preheat oven to 450°F.
- 3
Add eggplant slices in 1 layer in a pan with a little olive oil at the bottom and pre-roast them at high heat (450) for 10 min or so while the mixture is cooking.
- 4
Sauté onion, garlic, pepper, and jalapeño well.
- 5
Add tomato paste and a little water (2 tbsp) so it’s not very dry.
- 6
Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil at the end.
- 7
Remove pan from oven, lower heat to 350F, pour mixture over the eggplant so it covers them all, add a few fresh garlic halves/quarters and bake at 350 for another 40 min or so.
- 8
In the last min, you can sprinkle some parmesan.
Notes
Alternatively, you can sauté them but find they use too much oil, so prebaking is healthier.
