Cheesy Eggplant Bake
Make eggplant cheesy and nutritious.
Eggplant doesn't have to be oily, it can be baked with beautiful sauce and texture. I like to serve it up with my breakfast of scrambled eggs or as lunch with a piece of meat or bread.
This dish is delicious alongside dinner as it makes a perfect side dish or a vegetarian accompaniment to your favourite food.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients
3 eggplants
1 bottle of tomato puree

Half a red capsicum
Olive oil to taste

Method
Slice eggplant thinly.
Dice red onion, brown onion and garlic.
In a bowl add the onion, garlic and diced capsicum.
In a baking dish, pour some extra virgin olive oil and spread eggplant out.
Spread onion, garlic and capsicum out over the eggplant. Do this several times until you layer at least 4 layers of eggplant.
Top with tomato puree and canned tomato.
Bake in the oven on 200 degrees until the eggplant is soft and moist (approximately 40 minutes).

Take out of the oven and leave to rest.
