This vegan Turkish dish is simple to prepare, but it does take a little time to cook. It is served at room temperature so do allow time for it to cool properly.
Ingredients
- 2 small eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- salt to taste
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 ounces oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place eggplants in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and leave to drain for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet. Add onion, red bell pepper, and garlic; cook until onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Pat the eggplant slices dry with paper towels and arrange in the prepared baking pan. Drop a teaspoonful of the tomato mixture onto each eggplant slice. Drizzle remaining olive oil over and around slices. Cover with aluminum foil.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant slices are tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Garnish with pine nuts and cilantro leaves. Serve at room temperature.
