Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 onion, finely chopped
-
1 carrot, finely chopped
-
1 clove garlic, chopped
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
-
½ teaspoon white sugar
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
½ cup vegetable oil for frying
-
1 eggplant, thinly sliced
-
2 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, carrot, and garlic until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer; turn heat down to low. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over high heat. Fry eggplant slices in the hot oil until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Drain eggplant slices on paper towels.
-
Mash the tomatoes in the saucepan using a fork for a less chunky texture. Remove from heat. Add eggplant and olives; stir gently to incorporate.
Cook's Note:
Non-vegans can add grated cheese in step 3 to add flavor and thickness.
Editor's Note:
