Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and slice the eggplants into thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until fragrant and soft.

3

Cook the Eggplant

Add the eggplant slices to the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.

4

Add Peppers and Tomatoes

Stir in chopped red bell pepper and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

5

Finish with Herbs and Cheese

Mix in chopped basil, season with black pepper, and remove from heat. Top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
