Categories     Vegetable     Sauté     Dinner

Yield 4-6 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant (about 8″ long)
1/2 can diced tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
4-6 Tbs vegetable oil
1 Tbs dried cilantro (use fresh for garnish if you have it)
1 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp (or up to 1 tsp) cayenne pepper (mild or death-by-cayenne)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice Eggplants lengthwise 1/4 inch thick. Salt liberally on both sides and lay on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet for about an hour. The salt will draw out bitterness. Rinse the salt off of the eggplant and pat dry. 2. Saute crushed garlic in Olive Oil until fragrant in a large, heavy bottomed skillet. Set aside garlic in a small container. 3. Add Vegetable Oil to the skillet and heat on medium-high. Add eggplant and brown, cooking in batches if necessary. The eggplant should be relatively soft when done. 4. Reduce heat and add tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, cayenne, salt, and pepper. 5. Simmer until the Eggplant is very tender. 6. Serve room temperature with Seer Moss (Garlic Yogurt Sauce).

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I always have some leftover eggplant after making baba ganoush, and this is a great way to use it up.

This dish is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.
