The mushroom eggplant recipe
Ingredients
To prepare the mushroom eggplants you will need: 800 g of eggplant, 400 g of cherry tomatoes, 1 clove of garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil to taste.
Method
Wash the aubergines, remove the heads and cut them into cubes. If you have time, leave them on a cloth for an hour, salting them a little, so that they release some of their water and fry better.
In a saucepan, heat plenty of extra virgin olive oil, brown a clove of garlic and then set it aside. Fry the aubergines and then drain them with a slotted spoon, placing them on a sheet of absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Peel the tomatoes and cut them in half. Put them to cook in the same pan as the aubergines (eliminating any oil if it seems to you in excess; they should not fry, but stew to turn into a sauce).
Season with salt and add the basil leaves. When the cherry tomatoes have softened, add the aubergines and mix carefully.
