--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      lb            Eggplant
     3/4  c             Butter
  50      ml            Garlic
   3      tb            Parsley -- chopped
   1 1/2  lb            Tomatoes --
                        - peeled, strained -OR-
   1      tb            Tomato paste -- plus:
   1      c             Water
                        Salt & pepper -- to taste
   1      c             Water

Peel the eggplants, cut into 1-1/2" cubes, and soak in lightly salted
water for 15 minutes. Drain, and squeeze gently. Brown the butter in
large pot. Add eggplant cubes and turn 2 to 3 times, to brown lightly
on all sides. Add garlic; cook until golden. Add parsley, tomatoes
(or paste & water), salt & pepper, and the 1 cup water. Cover. Simmer
until all liquid is absorbed and only the oil remains, 30 to
45 minutes.
