Serves 4

Ingredients

1 big eggplant cured (meaning you put it in water with vinager for at least 4 hours, this is the secret! as Natalie explains that otehrwise the eggplant will be hard or taste bitter)

1 big can of chopped tomatoes

1 onion

Salt

Pepper

Oregano

a little olive oil to fry the onions

1 polenta that you can buy in a rol and cut in patty-style pieces

Preparation

Fry the onions until they are transparent and add the spices of your choice, I recommend salt, pepper and a little oregano for this one.

Add the tomatoes and let it be there, under a low fire, for about 5 minutes.

Cut the "cured" eggplants in small chunks and add them

Let the mix sit over a low fire for 30 to 40 minutes, add water if it is getting too dry.

For the polenta, at the last minute, place them on a grill or pan with a little oil underneath, and let it be there as if it was a toast, until it is hot all around and inside.
