Jerusalem Aubergine stew (חצילים)



This dish is a simple and quick mid-week delicious dinner to serve. Can also be a side dish to meat or fish! Vegan and healthy, eggplant is a veggie used often as part of any Israeli meal!


I served this over Truffle Tagliatelle pasta this time. Any pasta, couscous or rice is great too!




Here's what you need:

2-3 eggplants sliced depending on the size. As a rule, the lighter in weight the eggplant and one that has a dot on the bottom is less seeded. Some have a short line on the bottom.
