Eggplant And Tomato Stew In The Crock Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Place eggplant slices in a large bowl in layers, sprinkling each layer with salt. Let stand for 30 minutes to drain. Rinse and dry on paper towels.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs with water and flour until smooth. Dip eggplant slices in batter and fry in the hot oil until golden brown, working in batches of 2 to 3 slices at a time.
• Mix seasoned bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Place 1/4 of the eggplant slices into a slow cooker and top with 1/4 of the crumbs, 1/4 of the marinara sauce, and 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers three more times.
• Cover and cook on Low until tender and flavors have blended, 4 to 5 hours.

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, combine butternut squash, eggplant, zucchini, okra, tomato sauce, onion, tomato, carrot, broth, raisins, and garlic. Season with cumin, turmeric, red pepper, cinnamon, and paprika.
• Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or until vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
• With a sharp knife, score a ring around each potato, just deep enough to break the skin. Place the potatoes in a medium pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 minutes, until about halfway cooked.
• Drain the potatoes, and rinse with cold water. Peel off the skin.
• Cut the potatoes into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces and set aside.
• Divide the eggplant and bell peppers between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your hands to coat.
• Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent.
• Add the tomato paste and stir until well distributed, then add the garlic, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
• Add the potatoes, chickpeas, and tomatoes, and stir to incorporate.
• Stir in the vegetable broth and cover. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Add the roasted eggplant and bell pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the tomatoes have mostly broken down.
• Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley, and serve. Or, transfer the stew to resealable containers and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 3 months.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in crock pot.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 8-9 hours.
• Discard bay leaf before serving with some brown rice or fluffy couscous or polenta.

Steps:

• Roast the eggplant in a preheated 400 degree F. oven until soft, about 45 minutes.
• Remove all the meat from the eggplant.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil, and saute onions and garlic. Add the eggplant. Add all other ingredients, except the parsley. Remove from the heat and place in a food processor.
• Pulse until it becomes creamy.
• Serve at room temperature, garnished with parsley and served with crispy lavash crackers as a starter.

Steps:

• Wash the eggplant, then top and tail.
• Don't bother to peel, just cut into 1 inch thick segments.
• In large skillet, brown the beef, onions, garlic and eggplant in olive oil until dark golden-brown; drain.
• Place in crock pot.
• Combine the beef stock with the tomato sauce, vinegar, sugar, spices, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir it into the meat.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours.
• If serving with pasta, prepare pasta until al dente, pour onto a large serving platter and cover with meat, eggplant and sauce (you may add the feta- it is delicious).
• Sprinkle minced parsley over.
• If serving on its own as a main course, garnish with parsley and feta, serve with a green salad, lots of crusty bread (the sauce has to be mopped up!), and plenty of red wine.
