Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ teaspoon white sugar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
1 eggplant, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, and garlic until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer; turn heat down to low. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over high heat. Fry eggplant slices in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Drain eggplant slices on paper towels.
  • Mash the tomatoes in the saucepan using a fork for a less chunky texture. Remove from heat. Add eggplant and olives; stir gently to incorporate.

This sauce is way too oily for my taste. I had to drain off a lot of the oil before I could serve it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as thick as I expected. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This sauce is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but this sauce is delicious! The eggplant is cooked until it's soft and flavorful.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I always have extra eggplant in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up.
