Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large eggplants (about 3 pounds total), peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon salt
2/3 cup olive oil
3 onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 28-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives, sliced

Steps:

  • Toss eggplant with 1 tablespoon salt in large colander. Set colander over bowl. Let stand 30 minutes to allow excess liquid to drain from eggplant. Using paper towels, pat eggplant dry.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add eggplant, onions and garlic. Cook until eggplant is almost tender and beginning to brown, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Add rosemary; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juices and tomato paste. Simmer uncovered until flavors blend and sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Mix in olives and simmer 5 minutes longer. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)

I'm not a fan of black olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe was a little too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe but my sauce turned out a little too watery. I think I added too much tomato juice. Next time I will be sure to drain the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce.

This was a great recipe! I used fresh tomatoes and eggplant from my garden and it tasted amazing. I also added a little bit of red pepper flakes for some extra spice.
