Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large eggplant or 2-3 small
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried

  1. Wash the eggplant, pat it dry, then cut it into 1/2-inch to 1-inch chunks.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the eggplant, sprinkle on the seasonings and saute for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the flesh begins to turn golden.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue to saute for 3 to 5 minutes, until browned and tender.
  4. Taste and season as desired, then squeeze half a lemon over the eggplant. Stir and transfer to a serving dish. Serve with lemon wedges, garnished with red pepper and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover cooked eggplant in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the eggplant in a skillet on the stove top or at 350 degrees F in an oven until heated through. You can also serve sautéed eggplant cold.
