Delicious Eggplant Tomato Sauce
In this video, Judi demonstrates how to make a delicious tomato sauce with eggplant. It would be great over pasta or chicken (or both!). It's VERY easy (and FAST) to make and is yummy. Try it!
Easy Tomato Sauce with Eggplant
Makes About 4 Servings
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cups diced, peeled eggplant*
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 large slice of onion, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
Dash of black pepper
1 (14.5 oz) can diced Italian tomatoes
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and briefly allow it to heat up. Add diced eggplant, minced garlic, chopped onion, salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add the diced Italian tomatoes, parsley flakes, basil and oregano; stir to combine ingredients. Cover skillet and cook until sauce is bubbly and slightly reduced. Stir often. Remove from heat and serve over cooked pasta, rice, or breaded oven baked eggplant slices.
To prepare eggplant without bitterness:
If it’s a large, mature eggplant, peel and slice the eggplant. Separate the slices on a tray or cutting board. Heavily salt both sides of the slices and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow them to “sweat.” Thoroughly rinse them with water; drain well. Dice the slices for use in the above recipe.
If the eggplant is small, young, and fresh, it may not have developed the bitterness in the seeds yet. It should be fine to use without any special treatment.

FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. It is in the province of Foggia in the Puglia region of southeast Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina enjoys making food for her family in the same old fashion ways as she was taught by her mother and grandmother in Italy, and also new things she has subsequently learned from family and friends in America. She also enjoys gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera and behind the scenes?
Grandma Gina’s retired son-in-law, Nick, does the filming, editing, production, and channel management. Her daughter, Maria, helps with food preparation, kitchen setup and fan support. Also, Grandma Gina usually has one or two grand-kids in the kitchen to help.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!
