Number Of Ingredients 7

6 eggplants
7 red bell peppers
1/2 cup olive oil
1 onion (chopped)
4 to matoes
3 garlic cloves (minced)
4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • Place the eggplants and red bell peppers onto a baking sheet lined with foil. Puncture the eggplant with a fork a few times to avoid it from popping and making a huge mess in your oven.
  • Bake at 360 Fahrenheit for 50 minutes.
  • Once the eggplant and bell peppers have cooled down a little, remove the skin from both the vegetables. Then remove the seeds form the bell peppers.
  • Place both pealed vegetables into a food processor and blend until no more chunks appear.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat and add in the chopped onion. Keep stirring until the onion becomes golden in color.
  • Add in the chopped tomatoes and stir for about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the processed vegetables and minced garlic, then season with salt. You may want to add more salt depending on your liking. Stir the vegetable mixture for another 5 minutes over low heat to let the flavors blend together.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool down to room temperature before storing the spread into jars.
