Eggplant Steaks in Tomato Sauce Recipes

Ingredients :

2

1/4 cup

2

1

1/4 teaspoon

small to medium eggplants

olive oil

cloves garlic

16-ounce can tomato sauce

whole dried oregano

salt and pepper

1. Preheat the broiler and line the broiler pan with foil to ease cleaning.

2. Trim the top and bottom off the eggplants, and slice them into 1/2 to 3/4 thick slices.

3. Place on broiler pan.

4. Put the olive oil into a cup or small bowl and pass the garlic through a press directly into the cup.

5. Use a pastry brush to stir the garlic and oil, then paint this oil onto each side of the eggplant slices.

6. Sprinkle the slices with salt and pepper and broil for 3-5 minutes on each side, until well browned but not burned.

7. While the eggplant is broiling, put the tomato sauce in a small saucepan, stir in the oregano, and warm over medium heat until heated through.

8. To serve, spoon a puddle of tomato sauce onto each plate and lay slices of broiled eggplant on top.

Serves 4

Cut thick and broiled, these slices of eggplant have a crisp outside and delectably creamy inside. Don't cut them too thin, or the interiors won't be thick enough to get creamy. Presented on a simple bed of tomato sauce with a hint of oregano, they provide a winning centerpiece on a dinner plate.
