The eggplant in this recipe gives the sauce texture to replace the ground
meat many folks put in sauce.
1 small eggplant, peeled and cubed
1 small-med. onion, chopped
1 small can mushrooms
1 small zuchini, cubed
1 large can whole tomatoes
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed, then minced
fresh basil leaves (about 5, crushed and chopped)
fresh oregano (about 2T leaves)
fresh thyme(three 1" sprigs, use leaves only)
chopped green pepper (to taste)
Saute eggplant, onion, zuchini, and green pepper until all reach the
"crisp cook" stage. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes
on medium to low heat. Note: dried herbs can be used in place of fresh.
Just use about 2 t of each (or to taste). If you use can tomatoes,
tomato sauce, and mushrooms from the "no salt" variety, this recipe
should be good for those trying to cut back on sodium.
I usually serve this over vermicelli rather than spaghetti (I like the
texture better).
