  • Peel the eggplant and slice it into rounds, then sprinkle with salt and let sit for a while to draw out the bitterness. In a deep bowl, combine the chopped onions, bell pepper, garlic, herbs, and walnuts ground with a little salt in a mortar so they release their oils. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel off the skins, and cut into pieces. Squeeze the excess liquid from the eggplant and fry the slices in a skillet with hot vegetable oil on both sides, covered. Transfer them to a separate dish, then in the same pan simmer the tomatoes until only a little juice remains. For a bit of heat, you can add a hot chili pepper. Return the eggplant to the pan and simmer, covered, for another 3-4 minutes. Add the eggplant-tomato mixture to the bowl with the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with the wine vinegar, stir, and let cool. Serve the eggplant with walnuts as a main dish or a side. Enjoy!
