Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 cups cubed eggplants
1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, drain and chop, reserve liquid
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms

Saute' onion, garlic and eggplant in oil for five minutes.
2
Add all other ingredients (including reserved liquid from tomatoes) and bring to a boil.
3
Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes*.
4
*I always cover and cook this longer (an hour or more until it tastes right to me) as I don't care for raw tasting tomatoes.
5
When it's almost done, I uncover and cook a little longer so it thickens a bit.
6
Again, just a personal preference.
7
Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
