Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
1 or 2 medium eggplants, unpeeled, sliced in 1/2" to 1" round slices
Olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 large or 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp. sugar
2 tbsp. parsley, chopped
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
Salt
Pepper
Brush each eggplant slice lightly with olive oil on both sides. Grill until barely tender, turning if needed.
Line a skillet with about 2 or 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Heat.
Top each eggplant slice with approximately 2 or 3 tbsp. tomato sauce and bake for 20 minutes, until heated thoroughly.
This is my favorite eggplant recipe. The eggplants are sliced then grilled either on the George Foreman grill or on a grill skillet so they are not swimming in oil. Then each slice is topped with a light, fresh tomato sauce.
