Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Wrap each eggplant in aluminum foil, place on a cookie tray and bake in the 400-degree oven for 1 hour, until the eggplants are very soft throughout.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan. When it is hot, add the onions and saute them, covered, over low heat for about 4 minutes, until they are tender. Add the garlic and herbes de Provence, and cook 1 minute over medium heat. Stir in the wine, salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Remove eggplants, and cut into 1½-inch pieces. Add the pieces to the saucepan, mixing them in well. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and boil gently over low heat for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately, or cool, refrigerate and serve cold.

Tip
  • Herbes de Provence can be purchased at specialty food stores, or you can create your own by combining equal parts of 4 or 5 of the following dried herbs: marjoram, thyme, rosemary, summer savory, sage, fennel, basil and lavender.

Solid recipe, would have been good over pasta. Might be helpful to add to the ingredients list before you do your shopping!

Delightful recipe, exactly as written by Jacques. Easy, classy and classic.

I cooked 2 long and thin Japanese eggplants (1 lb) in the oven for about 45 minutes to make this wonderful dish, which I served as a (thick) sauce over a pasta. It made for an excellent sidedish.
