This creamy eggplant recipe is rich, healthy, and quick to make.

Eggplant is a very versatile vegetable consumed on all continents, although it is believed to be native to Asia, specifically India. From a botanical point of view, it is a fruit, and like the tomato or avocado, there are countless ways to eat it.

Many people reject it because it absorbs quite a bit of fat in some preparations. However, 92% of eggplant is water and only 3.5% is carbohydrates. It is rich in fiber and helps eliminate cholesterol, so you have more than enough reasons to encourage yourself to include it in a healthy diet. Enjoy!

Method

  1. Wash the eggplant and cut it into cubes. Place it in salted water and let it rest for a few minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cut the onion into julienne strips and finely chop the parsley.
  3. In a saucepan, heat the butter. Add the onion and parsley, then add the well-drained eggplant.
  4. Combine everything, cover, and cook over low heat. The vegetables will release their juices; stir them frequently so they brown evenly.
  5. When the eggplant begins to soften, add the cooking cream. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes without stopping stirring.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. If you see it drying out too much, add a little milk or water until you achieve the consistency you prefer.
  7. To serve, sprinkle finely grated Parmesan cheese (or another you have).
