SMOKY TOMATO AND EGGPLANT SPREAD



Smoky Tomato and Eggplant Spread image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     condiment

Time 50m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant (1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 shallots, peeled and chopped
2 roasted red peppers, chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and grated
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
Grilled sourdough bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Partially peel the outside of the eggplant, leaving 1 1/2- to 2-inch strips of skin intact, creating alternating stripes of flesh and skin. Cut the eggplant into 2-inch cubes and add it to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the eggplant with 6 tablespoons of the olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the eggplant to the oven and roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. After 40 minutes the eggplant should be very tender and browned.
  • In the meantime, heat a high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot has softened, about 5 minutes. Next, add the red pepper and garlic and stir to combine. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices. Add the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Add the cooked eggplant to the tomato mixture and stir to combine, slightly mashing the eggplant into the sauce. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and serve with grilled sourdough.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     soups and stews, vegetables, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds Italian eggplant, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more as needed
1/3 cup pine nuts or slivered almonds
1 1/4 teaspoons baharat blend (or use another spice blend, such as garam masala)
Freshly ground black pepper
5 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 fat garlic cloves, finely grated, pressed or minced
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, mint, cilantro, parsley, dill or any combination, plus more for garnish
4 to 6 large eggs
Lemon wedges, for serving
Plain whole-milk yogurt, for serving
Hot sauce (such as Tabasco), for serving

Steps:

  • Put eggplant in a colander in the sink and toss with 1 teaspoon salt. Let drain while preparing the nuts.
  • In a small bowl, combine nuts, 1/4 teaspoon baharat and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pine nut mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted, 2 minutes. Pour nuts back into the small bowl and stir in lemon zest. Set aside for serving.
  • Add 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high until oil thins out, about 20 seconds. Add enough of the eggplant to fit in one layer without overlapping. Cook eggplant until browned, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggplant to a plate. Repeat with more oil and eggplant, taking care not to crowd the pan.
  • When all the eggplant is browned, push the last batch still in the pan to one side. Drizzle the empty part of the pan with a tiny bit of oil and add garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return the rest of the browned eggplant back to the pan and stir well to incorporate garlic.
  • Add tomatoes and remaining baharat, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a big pinch of pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes and eggplant become stewy, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in herbs. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
  • Make small hollows into the stewed eggplant with the back of a spoon. Gently crack an egg into each hollow. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid or piece of foil and cook on medium-low until the eggs are just set, but still soft, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove the lid, and garnish with the spiced nuts, more herbs and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with yogurt, hot sauce and more lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size, with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are soft, wrinkled, or have brown spots.
  • Slice the eggplant evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not cook through. If the slices are too thin, they may burn.
  • Salt the eggplant slices: This will help to draw out the bitterness and make the eggplant more tender. You can either sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 30 minutes before cooking, or you can add the salt to the pan when you are cooking the eggplant.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are cooking the eggplant, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the eggplant will steam instead of fry and will not get as crispy.
  • Cook the eggplant until it is tender: The eggplant should be cooked until it is tender when pierced with a fork. If the eggplant is not cooked through, it will be tough and bitter.

Conclusion:

This spicy eggplant with tomatoes recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The eggplant is tender and flavorful, and the tomatoes add a bright and acidic flavor. This dish can be served with rice, pasta, or bread. It is also a great addition to a vegetarian or vegan meal.
