Eggplants with garlic and tomato. The following recipe comes from the island of Zakynthos (Zante). It serves 2 – 3 persons. It might be slightly different from the original recipe, but still the ingredients that are used are the same.

* 4 large round eggplants, cut along side in pieces
* 4 tomatoes, mashed
* 6 garlic cloves, mashed in a mortar or with a fork
* 50 ml vinegar
* salt
* pepper
* oregano
* cheese (ladotyri from Zakynthos should be used. use a slightly piquant cheese if ladotyri cannot be found)
* olive oil
== Directions ==
# Fry eggplants in plenty of olive oil.
# eggplants absorb plenty of oil.
# Fry until eggplants get brown and tender.
# Add water if you do not want to use too much oil.
# In another saucepan heat olive oil (much less than the portion that you use for frying the eggplants) and add tomato mash and half of the garlic.
# Add salt and pepper for taste and bring to boil.
# Add eggplants into the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
# While you simmer the eggplants with the tomato and garlic whiz in a blender the vinegar with the rest of the garlic.
# When eggplants are ready, remove from heat and pour the vinegar and garlic mixture over them.
# Season eggplants with oregano and stir them well.
