BERENJENA A LA VERACRUZANA - MEXICAN EGGPLANT IN SAUCE



Berenjena a La Veracruzana - Mexican Eggplant in Sauce image

Based on Zarela Martinez's recipe, we changed it a bit and included cooking the eggplant in the sauce instead of frying it. Delicious!

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 large globe eggplant (and salt)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh yellow onions
5 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces canned chopped mild green chilies
4 -5 large ripe tomatoes, chopped fine (you can use canned, roughly chopped, too)
1 teaspoon small caper
5 large pimiento-stuffed green olives (cut in halves or thirds, use more if you like green olives)
2 dried bay leaves
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground dried ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground mild cinnamon
1/4 cup dry sherry
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 prepared polenta, rounds for serving (broiled or fried)
1/4 cup Mexican crema, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the peel from the eggplant and cut into approximate 1/2 to 3/4 inch strips. Add them a handful at a time to a colander, salting them well between layers, until all of them are in the colander. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow them to "sweat" their bitterness out and lose liquid.
  • While the eggplant is in the colander, make the sauce. In a large, heavy pot (I use my Le Creuset), heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until just translucent. Add the garlic and chiles, stir well, and sauté, stirring occasionally, for an additional 7-10 minutes until onion is soft.
  • Add the tomatoes and stir well. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes and the liquids are reduced by about half.
  • Rinse the salted eggplant and drain well.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients (including eggplant) to the pot, stir well, and cover. Cook for 15-20 minutes until eggplant is well-cooked and the sauce is the consistency that you like (you may want to remove the cover for the last 5 minutes to reduce the sauce a bit). Remove bay leaves.
  • Serve with polenta rounds or squares (or some other favorite method of prepared polenta), drizzled with a little crema. Enjoy!

CHEESY AUBERGINE



Cheesy Aubergine image

Tastes like enchiladas! Yummy and healthier than regular enchiladas. Adapted from Sunset. *This has become my most popular recipe posted here. I've made it slightly different ways over the years. I sprinkle the oiled eggplant with garlic salt now. It's also great with a can of diced tomatoes and 1tbsp of tomato paste, extra cumin, garlic, dried onions, salt and cilantro. I also use reduced-fat cheese now. If you would like it spicier add some jalapenos. I love to eat it along an undressed salad of romaine, purple cabbage and grape tomatoes and eat bites of the salad and eggplant together with sour cream. Many people think it needs to be heartier so feel free to add beans, ground beef or chicken but I really don't think it needs it. It's also great served with rice.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2-2 lbs eggplants, unpeeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices (I use the American ones)
15 ounces tomato sauce
4 ounces diced mild green chilies
1/2 cup green onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 1/4 ounces sliced black olives, drained
6 ounces fat-free cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Spray baking sheet with oil and place eggplant slices on it in a single layer. Spray the tops of the eggplant with oil. Bake until soft when pressed about 15-25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile , in a small pot, combine tomato sauce, chiles, onions, cumin, garlic powder and olives. Bring to a simmer, then simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Turn oven down to 350 when eggplant is done.
  • Arrange half the eggplant slices in a single layer over the bottom of a shallow 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Spoon half the sauce over eggplant and sprinkle with half the cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese.
  • Bake at 350 until heated through and bubbly (about 30 minutes).
  • Top with sour cream if desired.
