Sicilian Eggplants
Sicilian eggplants are a true Mediterranean delight—rich, savory, and bursting with flavor. To prepare this quick and easy recipe, start by slicing fresh eggplants into medium rounds or cubes. Sprinkle them with a little salt and let them rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the eggplants until golden and tender. For a lighter version, you can roast them in the oven until slightly crisp.
Next, prepare a flavorful sauce by sautéing garlic, onions, and ripe tomatoes with a splash of olive oil. Add capers, olives, and fresh basil for that authentic Sicilian touch. Toss the cooked eggplants into the sauce and let everything simmer together for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully.
