Italian Eggplant Ragout image

Pulled from an old issue of vegetarian times. I used to be pretty leary of eggplant, but this was enchanting. Good on its own; better with pasta or rice.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants, halved
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Scoop out center and seeds of eggplant halves. Cut eggplants into 3/4 inch dice. Toss with salt in bowl and let it stand for at least 20 minutes. Drain off the fluid that collects, rinse well, and pat dry.
  • Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and saute until softened (about 5 minutes.) Add garlic, and cook 1 minute more, or until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, and eggplants. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 15 minutes, or until eggplants are tender but not mushy.
  • Stir in capers and sugar, and cook 2 minutes more. Fold in parsley, and season with black pepper.

I would not recommend this recipe. The eggplant was bland and the sauce was too acidic.

The eggplant was a bit tough. I think I would cook it for a little longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try it again with less oil.
