Ingredients

  • 2 large eggplants, sliced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup dry whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 roma (plum) tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 5 pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  2. Cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish with 1/2 the eggplant slices, and season with salt. In a bowl, toss together the bread crumbs and brown sugar, and sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the mixture over the layer of eggplant slices.
