Ingredients

  • 4 eggplants
  • 2.5 kg of tomato
  • 4 red peppers
  • 4 onions
  • a handful of parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Ground chili (optional)

Preparation

  1. Cut the eggplants into squares. Place them in a strainer and sprinkle salt over them to remove the bitterness. Let them rest for 30 minutes. Rinse the eggplants with cold water and dry them with a clean cloth.
  2. Wash the tomatoes and make a small cross at the base of each one. Place the tomatoes in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove the tomatoes from the water and place them in a bowl of cold water. Peel the tomatoes, remove the seeds and cut them into squares.
  3. Wash and cut the red peppers into small squares, removing the seeds and white parts. Peel and cut the onions into small squares.
  4. In a large frying pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the peppers and cook for a few minutes until softened.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the eggplant and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, until all ingredients are cooked through and the sauce is thick. If you want a spicy touch, add ground chili to taste.
  6. Finely chop the parsley and add it to the sauce. Stir well and adjust the flavor with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Let the sauce cool to room temperature and then refrigerate. This sauce is ideal to accompany pasta, meat, or as a dip for your appetizers.

Tips:

  • Storage : You can store the sauce in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze it in portions for later use.
  • Texture : If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can put it through a food processor before adding the parsley.
  • Variations : Experiment by adding other herbs such as basil or thyme to give it a different touch.
