Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups eggplant no need to peel, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup red bell pepper (diced)
  • 15 ounces diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • parsley optional garnish, minced

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat then sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add eggplant and salt to the pot and fry until eggplant starts to soften, about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add peppers to the pan and continue to sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes and all remaining ingredients to the pan and increase heat to high. Bring pan to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are soft and flavors develop, about 30 minutes. 
  3. Sprinkle with minced parsley to serve.

Notes

  • Can be served warm, room temperature or chilled. Delicious with pita bread or on its own as a side dish.
