Ingredients

  1. 3 eggplants
  2. 4 cups vegetable broth
  3. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 4 red bell peppers, cut into cubes
  5. 2 onions, chopped
  6. 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  7. salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 3 tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Peel eggplants in such a way that 3 strips of skin remain on each eggplant. Cut peeled eggplant into 1/2-inch slices. The strips of skin will prevent the eggplant slices from falling apart while cooking.
  2. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot and cook eggplant slices in batches for 1 minute. Pour into a sieve and drain well.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread out eggplant slices on the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook bell peppers, onions, and garlic until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and layer over eggplant. Add tomato slices; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

delicious! I have made it a number of times and it’s always a big hit. Brought it to my neighbor’s picnic yesterday. It tastes great at room temperature as well. I had to cook the eggplant in batches so they would be submerged in the broth
