2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds eggplant, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 pounds plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 swordfish steaks (about 12 ounces each), 1 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant and cook, covered, for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, salt and red pepper flakes. Simmer 10 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally. Tear in basil leaves.
