Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more if needed
1 large onion, peeled and diced
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, deboned, with skin on one side, cut into 8 rectangular slices

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the onion, cover the pan, and sweat the onion for about 10 minutes. Then, add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the honey and 1 additional tablespoon of the oil. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes, until much of the liquid has evaporated. Discard the bay leaf, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Puree in a food processor, and then put through a fine sieve.
  • Heat 2 more tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick pan, and fry the eggplant until the rounds are golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all the eggplant has been cooked, adding more oil, if needed, for each new batch. Drain on paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of vinegar to the pan, and stir for 1 minute over high heat to deglaze the pan. Spoon the liquid over the eggplant.
  • Clean the nonstick pan. Working very carefully with the fish fillets, salt and pepper them on both sides. Place the fillets in the pan, and over medium heat fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • For each serving, place the tomato sauce in the middle of the plate, top with several rounds of the eggplant and then, carefully, with 2 fish fillets, skin side up. Serve warm.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to give it more flavor.

The red snapper was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the rest of the dish was delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of eggplant, but this dish changed my mind. The eggplant was roasted until it was soft and flavorful.

This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The eggplant and tomatoes add a smoky sweetness, while the red snapper is light and flaky.

This dish was a hit with my family! The eggplant and tomatoes were perfectly roasted, and the red snapper was cooked to perfection. The flavors all came together beautifully.
