Tomato Baked Eggplant
Beginner Cook - Medium Cooking Time - Main Course - Gluten Free - Vegetarian - Vegan Option
If there was ever a dish that conveyed how melt-in-your mouth delicious eggplant can be, it's this one. The tomato can be prepared one of two ways (both listed below) - with tomato sauce, which yields a more intense tomato flavor, or diluted tomato paste, providing a "lighter" sauce. This dish is best served with pasta, rice, or on its own with a thick slice of country style bread.

Time - 1 hour and 30 minutes
  • Preparation - 45 minutes
  • Baking (350 degrees) - 45 minutes

Ingredients
  • 8 small eggplants
  • 3 cups extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 teaspoons tomato paste plus 3 cups water OR 15 ounces tomato sauce plus 1 cup water
  • 2 roughly chopped garlic cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (omit if opting for a vegan preparation)

Preparation
  • Wash and quarter the eggplants lengthwise

  • Heat 3 cups of extra virgin olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat
  • Cook the eggplants in the oil until a light golden color
  • Remove the eggplant and place in a strainer (note - you will likely need to cook the eggplant in 2-3 batches, in order to avoid overcrowding the pan)
  • Optional - let the cooked eggplant rest in a strainer 6-8 hours. This will allow them to release some of the oil absorbed during cooking
  • Place the cooked eggplant in the bottom of a baking dish
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees

  • In a bowl, stir together the tomato paste/sauce, water, salt, chopped garlic, and bay leaves
  • Pour over the cooked eggplant

  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta on top
  • Place the dish back in the 350 degree oven and bake for another 15 minutes

  • Serve hot or at room temperature​

What a really interesting recipe this! I would like to be honest and let you know that this is the first time that I have seen such recipe and I have been fascinated on how you actually make this happen. I didn't know that this one will be not that hard because the pictures make it look not easy to make. Anyway, I might just try this and see if I will be able to also do it as perfect as how you did it. Thanks for sharing this by the way!
