Recipes

• 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 Aubergines (eggplants) diced
• 3 very ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and diced
• 12 handfuls long grain rice
• 2 tbsp dried oregano
• salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Heat half the oil in a pan and sauté the garlic for about 3 minutes, or until translucent. Add the Aubergine and sauté for about 5 minutes over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste, cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and add a little salt and the rice. Cook for about 12 minutes until al dente, then drain and mix with the remaining oil.
4. Pile the rice on a platter, pour the aubergines on top, sprinkle with the oregano and serve immediately.
