This is one my favorite foods that my mum makes when she cooks for me! Eggplant slices topped with onions… I know it doesn’t look very pretty in the picture but thats because its not…The taste though, is amazing, so give it a chance.
You need :
2 large eggplants
4 large onions
2 cloves of garlic
1 cup sieved tomatoes
1 tsp tabasco (or more)
1 vegetable stock cube
1 tsp salt
2 tsp squeezed lemon
First you have to cut the eggplant in slices (about 1cm thick). To do that you need to cut off the top of the eggplant and then cut it in the middle vertically separating the two halves. Once you do that you have to start making the slices. Thats the hard part. Do it slowly so you can be in control of the thickness(im not joking). Dont cut them too thin but not too thick either because they will come out undercooked. As i mentioned before the ideal thickness is 1cm. You should have around ten to twelve slices.
Now spray with non-stick spray a baking dish and arrange the slices in it. Brush each slice with a bit of olive oil and place in the oven at 150c and leave them there to soften while you are preparing the topping. Cut the onions in circles, crush the garlic and place on a big frying pan. Saute for a few minutes then add sieved tomatoes, vegetable stock cube, tabasco , lemon and salt. Cook until onions are soft (12 minutes) and remove from heat.
Take the dish out of the oven and with a spoon top the slices with what you just made on the pan (onions with sauce). Put it back in the oven and bake them at 150c for 20 minutes and then for 180 for 10 minutes. The eggplants will become soft and should look like that:
Serve with french fries or couscous!!
amazing
