Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, cubed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 red bell peppers, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tblsp cumin
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the cubed eggplant in a colander and generously salt, tossing to ensure even coverage. Leave the colander in the sink for 30 minutes while the juices drain off. After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to absorb any remaining mixture on the eggplant.
- In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the eggplant, onion, peppers, garlic and cumin.
- Saute for about 8 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Notes
Salting the eggplant will draw out its bitter juices and reduce the absorption of oil during cooking.
