Ingredients
  • 3-4 Eggplants (cut in small cubes)
  • 1 Onion (thinly chopped)
  • 3 Garlic (thinly chopped cloves)
  • 400 grams Tomato (peeled and thinly chopped either fresh or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Carob Honey (or any other honey)
  • 1 cup Red Wine
  • 1/2 cups Olive Oil
  • 4 drops Liquid Smoke Flavoring Substitute ((optional))
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Sweet Paprika
Instructions

  1. Clean and wash all of the vegetables.

    Cut the eggplants into cubes.

    Thinly chop the onion and garlic.

  2. Warm-up a deep pan and pour the olive oil.

    Continue with adding the onion. garlic and after a minute or so add the eggplants.

  3. Pour the tomato paste and let it sauté for a bit.

  4. Moving on pouring the carob honey.

  5. If you have any in hand add some liquid smoke flavoring substitute, which matches the recipe perfectly.

    Give a bit more taste to your dish with the spices and add pepper and salt too.

  6. Extinguish the dish with some red wine and after adding the thinly chopped tomato let it boil once.

    Lower the heat and let it cook slowly until the sauce that has been formed is denser and the eggplants softer. This is going to take about 20 minutes.

Notes
  • You could accompany your dish with some rice on the side like I did, while penne is pretty fitting too.
  • Be careful to not overcook your eggplants cause otherwise they will melt.
