My Nonna's Eggplant specialty came to the table. Freshly grated parmesan cheese capped the eggplant and peppers to perfection.

  • . 1/2 cup (125ml) water

Directions

  1. . Prepare the eggplant cubes first: Once the eggplant has been chopped into cubes, place them into a colander. Salt lightly in stages so that it's allowed to sweat out its water and bitterness. Set aside for about 15 minutes.
  2. . Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the onions on medium heat. Sauté until lightly caramelized for about 10 minutes.
  3. . Add the minced garlic and red peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes before adding the eggplant. Cook until the eggplant softens.
  4. . Afterwards, add the tomatoes and water. The salt and herbs should also be added at this point. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. . Meanwhile, beat the eggs vigorously. Pour over the cooked vegetable mix. With a spatula, properly incorporate the eggs until completely cooked. At this point, you may need to lower the heat a little.
  6. . At the very end, add the grated cheese. Serve warm with your favourite cheeses, crusty bread or crackers.
