Fried Cubed Eggplant

You need:

• 1 large eggplant, cubed
• 4-5 garlic cloves
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tomatoes
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste
• 2-3 bunches of parsley (optional)

Instructions:

Peel and cut the eggplant into cubes, about an inch. In a skillet, heat the oil and fry the eggplant for about 5 minutes on high. Add the garlic and cubed tomatoes. Cook for additional 3-4 minutes. Add the flavor of your choice. Add maybe some parsley to it and turn off the heat. Arrange and serve warm. This is a tasty summer vegetarian dish, or a side dish. It is very yummy with some sour cream, or plain yogurt! I love it topped with a spoonful of Snejanka dip.
