Preparation method
Preparing the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 190°C and grease a round ovenproof baking dish (tart pan) with a little olive oil.
Wash the eggplants and cut them into small cubes of about 1-1.5 cm. Finely chop the red onion and crush the 2 garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the eggplant cubes, sprinkle with a little salt and dried oregano, then cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until softened and reduced in volume. Let them cool for a few minutes.
Chef's tip
For an even richer aroma, you can add a few finely chopped fresh mint leaves or dill to the batter.
Melitzanopita keeps excellently in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container and can be easily reheated in the oven.
