TURKISH EGGPLANT CASSEROLE WITH TOMATOES #HEALTHYVEGAN #EGGPLANT
Fat's gotten unfavorable criticism for quite a while in the wellbeing scene. It's not hard to get why, given that its very own name has turned out to be synonymous with biscuit tops and cankles.But having been raised on olive oil seared eggs and the way of thinking that an avocado daily wards off the specialist, I'm happy that individuals are at last putting down the sans fat SnackWells treats and beginning to rethink their solid decisions as indicated by an alternate gauge.
Notwithstanding this advancement, regardless I get scrutinized all the ideal opportunity for slapping "sound" on my plans nearby a couple of tablespoons of spread. Regardless I need to tinker with the measure of oil I use when creating plans for wellness magazines such as SELF, who live beyond words the fat grams gave an account of their nourishment number crunchers.
Since I put stock in genuine, natural sustenance, regardless of whether it contains unadulterated fat, it's difficult for me to not feel like a wolf in sheep's clothing when I turn in a formula for cheesecake with low fat sharp cream and without fat cream cheddar, and only one measly tablespoon (in case I'm fortunate) of spread in the sans gluten covering. In any case, mother couldn't bear the cost of her own olive oil spending plan without these occupations, and once in a while you need to simply keep quiet so as to satisfy a customer.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium eggplant (or 4 small Italian eggplant), about 1 3/4 pound, thinly sliced 1/4 inch thick lengthwise
- Sea salt
- Olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- Dash of cinnamon
- One 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, divided
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly salt the eggplant slices and allow to stand for 20 minutes. Pat the slices dry and set aside.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large oven proof (preferably cast iron) skillet. Pan fry the eggplant in batches over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add more oil as necessary between batches so the eggplant doesn't burn, but try not to have too heavy a hand - the pan just needs to be greased. Remove the eggplant to a plate.
- Add the onion to the skillet and saute over medium heat until soft, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and cinnamon. Cook for one minute more, until fragrant. Carefully pour in the tomatoes and simmer until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in half the parsley.
- If using an ovenproof skillet, remove 3/4 of the sauce to a bowl, leaving a thin layer behind. Otherwise, add 1/4 cup of sauce to the bottom of a 8x8 or comparable casserole dish. Arrange one layer of eggplant evenly in the bottom of the skillet or dish. Slather with a layer of sauce, and repeat with the remaining eggplant and sauce - like you would a lasagna.
- Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, until the eggplant is very soft and the sauce has reduced. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before cutting into it. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
