Time 3h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large tomatoes, halved
½ cup olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large eggplant
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup roasted almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Arrange tomatoes, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; spoon over tomatoes.
  • Bake tomatoes in the preheated oven until slightly shrunken, 3 to 4 hours.
  • In the last hour of the tomatoes baking, thinly slice eggplant and sprinkle with salt; set aside until some of the water starts to bead on the slices, about 30 minutes. Rinse the salt off the eggplant and transfer to a bowl. Pour remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and sprinkle paprika over eggplant slices; toss with your hands to coat.
  • Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer in a skillet over medium heat; cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Alternate tomato slices and eggplant slices on serving plates creating 'towers.' Drizzle yogurt and honey over each 'tower'; top with almonds.

The eggplant was a bit too smoky for my taste, but the tomatoes were roasted to perfection.

I added some crumbled feta cheese to the top of the towers and it took them to the next level.
