I can't have the carbs, so this is good enough, but it would be nice served over white rice adding fresh corn.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¼ pound cubed eggplant

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)

  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  1. Place eggplant in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and add water to cover. Let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
