Eggplant Ragu

We had some eggplant leftover from the harvest, so I diced them up and added them to my homemade tomato sauce.

Ingredients:

• 1 large or 3 small eggplants
• 1 onion
• 3+ tomatoes or canned crushed tomato
• 1lb of chuck beef
• basil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic cloves, olive oil

1. Slowly brown the onions and garlic in some olive oil allowing them to release their flavor and sweeten.
2. Add your eggplant and cook until translucent, stirring often.
3. Add the beef and tomatoes.
4. Simmer for 45 minutes.
