Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing and chopping the fresh tomatoes, cubing the eggplant, and rinsing the clams if using fresh ones.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Eggplant

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed eggplant and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes break down.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Clams

    If using fresh clams, add them to the skillet and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes until they open. If using canned clams, add them in the last few minutes of cooking just to heat through.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Stir in the fresh basil, black pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste. Serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
