Ingredients

1 large eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees F . Use 1 tablespoon olive oil to grease a large rimmed baking sheet. Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When it’s hot, add eggplant and 1/4 cup water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces shrivel a bit and are tender and beginning to color, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer eggplant to the bowl of a food processor.
