Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggplants
4 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 red bell peppers, cut into cubes
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Peel eggplants in such a way that 3 strips of skin remain on each eggplant. Cut peeled eggplant into 1/2-inch slices. The strips of skin will prevent the eggplant slices from falling apart while cooking.
  • Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot and cook eggplant slices in batches for 1 minute. Pour into a sieve and drain well.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread out eggplant slices on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook bell peppers, onions, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and layer over eggplant. Add tomato slices; season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

The eggplant bake was a bit too firm for my taste. I think I would cook the eggplant for more time next time.
