Method
- Chop the eggplants into medium sized cubes and sauté in a pan with some olive oil for a few minutes, until they soften slightly.
- When ready, remove with a slotted spoon and let them drain from excess oil on paper towels.
- Place a deep nonstick pan over heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic until they soften.
- Add the tomato juice, 2 glasses of water, bouillon cube, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Cover with lid and bring to a boil.
- Add the eggplants and lower heat to half. Simmer without lid until the liquid is soaked up and the sauce thickens and caramelizes (about 15 minutes). Stir gently while cooking.
- About 2-3 minutes before it is done, add the bologna and stir. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the basmati rice according to the instructions on the package.
- Serve rice and top with eggplant tomato stew on top. Bon appetite!!
- (If you want a spicier dish, you can substitute the bologna with a country sausage. You just need to saute it in the beginning along with the onions and add it to the pan earlier so it can cook along with the eggplants.)
