Ingredients

• 250g eggplant
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Let’s get the veggies prepared! Grease a medium saucepan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
2. Now grab the eggplant and cut off the ends (No more eggplant heads!). Cut into 1.5 cm cubes and add to the saucepan.
3. Now take that small onion and chop it into small pieces (They won’t know its an onion if they’re chopped small enough!).
4. Now add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the saucepan and add the onions, cooking for a few minutes until they are soft.
5. Alright, time to add the garlic! Or in cooking terms garliccloves_choppedfinely_asroseyou_beplease. Mince 2 cloves and add to the onions.
6. Don’t forget about the tomatoes! Peel and coarsely chop 4 large tomatoes and add to the saucepan.
7. Season with freshly ground black pepper and mix all the ingredients together.
8. Let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes over low heat until eggplants and tomatoes are soft. Stir occasionally to make sure the stew is not sticking to the pan.
9. Your Eggplant and Tomato Stew is ready! Serve and enjoy!
