Italian Eggplant Ragout image

Pulled from an old issue of vegetarian times. I used to be pretty leary of eggplant, but this was enchanting. Good on its own; better with pasta or rice.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants, halved
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Scoop out center and seeds of eggplant halves. Cut eggplants into 3/4 inch dice. Toss with salt in bowl and let it stand for at least 20 minutes. Drain off the fluid that collects, rinse well, and pat dry.
  • Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and saute until softened (about 5 minutes.) Add garlic, and cook 1 minute more, or until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, chickpeas, and eggplants. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 15 minutes, or until eggplants are tender but not mushy.
  • Stir in capers and sugar, and cook 2 minutes more. Fold in parsley, and season with black pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my eggplant ragout turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much liquid. Next time, I'll be more careful to measure the ingredients accurately.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili pepper flakes, and that helped to improve the flavor. I also served it with grated Parmesan cheese, which added a nice richness.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The eggplant is always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is always flavorful. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used fresh tomatoes from my garden, and they made the sauce extra flavorful. I served it with crusty bread for dipping, and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this recipe changed my mind. The eggplant was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I'll definitely be making this again!
