Here's what I cooked for dinner...
curse my torturous assignments!
1 medium sized eggplant/brinjal diced
3 roma tomatoes diced
1 large can tomato puree/chunks
3 thick slices smoked ham diced
2 cloves garlic diced
1 brown onion sliced
1 tbsp good olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tbsp chili flakes (optional)
good dash of sea salt (Maldon)
Pasta shells enough for 3
Cook pasta in hard boiling salted water. When done, strain and dish out into seperate bowls/plates.1 large can tomato puree/chunks
3 thick slices smoked ham diced
2 cloves garlic diced
1 brown onion sliced
1 tbsp good olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tbsp chili flakes (optional)
good dash of sea salt (Maldon)
Pasta shells enough for 3
Saute garlic, onion, eggplant and ham in olive oil until eggplant is tender. Sprinkle with sea salt. Add tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, chilly flakes and salt+freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Cook on low heat until the eggplant turns to 'mush' and sauce is thick. Should take approximately 20 minutes or more. Spoon on top of cooked pasta.
Sprinkle oregano and parmesan/boccocini chunks if you like. Serve hot. YUM! I love this pasta combination!A real good way of hiding vegetables from the kids.
