Servings: 12 servings
A healthy twist on potato O'Brien, Eggplant O'Brien combines Dei Fratelli Seasoned Diced Tomatoes, green bell pepper, and zucchini to create this plant-based side made for any family.
Ingredients:
- 2 (28 oz.) cans Dei Fratelli Seasoned Diced Tomatoes
- 1 Eggplant, peeled and cut into 3/4" slices

- 2 Cups Green Bell Pepper, diced
- 1 Cup White Onion, diced
- 1 tsp. Garlic, minced
- 2 Zucchini or Yellow Squash, diced

Instructions:
- Arrange eggplant slices flat on a large platter. Season with salt and allow to rest for 20 minutes to pull out moisture. Rinse off salt, pat dry, and dice into cubes. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add green bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook until onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add Dei Fratelli Seasoned Diced Tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini or yellow squash. Allow to heat through, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
