Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplants into 1-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tomatoes and Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a sauce.

  3. 3

    Cook the Eggplant

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place the eggplant slices in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown and tender, about 4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the eggplants are cooked, add them to the tomato-garlic mixture. Chop the confit lemon and stir it into the dish. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
