Eggplant with Almonds image

This eggplant is great served as a side dish or as a complete meal atop bulgur wheat, or couscous. It's a savory and sweet Mediterranean dish. The almonds are a nice source of protein for vegetarians like myself. Enjoy!

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggplants, cut into cubes
salt
¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup whole almonds, skin removed
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved and seeded
4 mint leaves, sliced
2 tablespoons white wine
2 tablespoons white sugar
salt
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Place the eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Set the colander in the sink to drain off liquid, about 20 minutes. Pat the cubes with paper towel to remove excess salt.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion in the oil until translucent. Add the garlic; cook and stir another 2 minutes. Stir in the eggplant and almonds, cooking and stirring until the eggplant is tender, but not mushy, about 20 minutes.
  • When the eggplant is cooked through, mix in the tomatoes, mint, white wine, sugar, salt, and chili powder. Cook mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat and garnish with parsley.

I'm a vegan, so I omitted the eggs from this recipe. It still turned out delicious! The eggplant and almonds were a perfect combination.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great! The walnuts added a nice crunch and flavor to the dish.

This recipe was a disaster! The eggplant was mushy and the almonds were burnt. I will not be making this again.

The eggplant was a bit overcooked, but the almonds were delicious. I think I'll try this recipe again with a shorter cooking time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
