Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium eggplant
2 red bell peppers, seeded
1 red onion, peeled
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the eggplant, bell pepper, and onion into 1-inch cubes.
  • Toss them in a large bowl with the garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread them on a baking sheet; roast for 45 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft, tossing once during cooking.
  • Cool slightly.
  • Place the vegetables in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add the tomato paste, and pulse 3 or 4 times to blend.
  • It should still have a lot of texture left, and not completely pureed.
