Tomato Eggplant Stew over Parmesan Polenta

Tomato Eggplant Stew over Parmesan Polenta

My mom is an expert at making efficient dinners with lots of leftovers. I’m terrible at leftovers – both at making enough food to have leftovers and, on the off chance I’m successful at that, at then coming up with something we won’t tire of after the second or third spaghetti lunch. This tomato eggplant stew passes both tests. A large batch comes together without a fuss and we’re still singing its praises on day 6 of leftovers.

Tomato Eggplant Stew Veggies

Thanks to the folks at OXO, we’ve finally upgraded our cookware with a shiny new 5-quart stainless steel casserole pot. I’ve been hanging onto the decades-old cheap non-stick pot that’s dented and wobbles on the stove with half-melted handles as a last remnant of my college kitchen. It’s worse than your camping pot.

Our new younger more attractive OXO pot, on the other hand, is sturdy with 3-ply walls that ensure even cooking. With the exception of that one old pot, we switched to stainless steel pots and pans nearly two years ago without regrets; by giving a nice brown sear on veggies and meat, a stainless steel pot imparts roasted flavors on a veggie-heavy stew like this one.

Tomato Eggplant Stew

Let’s talk about garnish for a second. I have an extreme hatred of cilantro – not in a “eh, I don’t prefer this, but I’ll tolerate it” way, but in a “it tastes like a bar of soap” kind of way. I’m apparently less genetically evolved, but hey, so is Julia Childs, which somehow makes me feel okay about being a food lover who loathes such a common ingredient. (At least I don’t pick it off and “throw it on the floor” like Julia.) When ordering a dish in which I fear cilantro might be lurking, I always ask.

So when I ordered a creamy artichoke risotto from a new hip restaurant and the waiter assured me there was no cilantro, I felt confident that the generous sprinkling of greens all over the plate was just minced parsley. I’m sure you can see where this is going. The heaping forkful I shoveled in overwhelmingly filled my mouth with soap.

Stewed Tomatoes and Eggplant

Afraid of causing a scene, but also not wanting to leave hungry, I timidly asked our waiter if maybe this was cilantro on top – because it tastes a lot exactly like cilantro.

His response? “Ohhh, well it might be micro-cilantro.” With a totally straight face.

For the record, folks, micro cilantro = CILANTRO…just harvested a bit earlier. Let me give you an example that might make it more clear, sir.

You: “Do you have cats? I’m allergic to cats.”

Me: “No. Definitely don’t own a cat. Might own a kitten. Totally different thing – won’t bother you at all.”

The cute factor does not somehow magically make it a different species.

Tomato Eggplant Stew over Polenta

We garnished this tomato eggplant stew with micro arugula. AKA adorable arugula. You know what’s cuter than a cat eating arugula (or kale)? A cat thieving a bite of micro arugula off the table. So cute that instead of stopping him, I took pictures. Have you see the video of the tiny kitten in a tiny hat eating a tiny ice cream cone? This is a real thing and the cuteness is paralyzing.

Cat Eats Arugula

Cat Eats Arugula

Aside from its obvious cute factor, we chose micro arugula because the basil looked sad and the micro greens sprinkle just so. The fresh peppery bite from the arugula actually pairs perfectly with the warm stewy vegetables. You could also throw some chopped up arugula on top or any other micro green you can find (Trader Joe’s has a nice pack).

Tomato Eggplant Stew with Pine Nuts

Even though this stew has very little in the way of seasoning, it’s got multiple dimensions and loads of flavor. The eggplant holds a sturdy texture – when stewed up with tomatoes and bell pepper, it isn’t slimy at all and soaks up all of the flavors of the dish. Parmesan polenta gives the stew a sweet creamy counterpart. Mixed with briny greek olives and dotted with a tangy feta, buttery pine nuts, and a handful of spicy arugula, stew doesn’t get much better than this.

Tomato Eggplant Stew over Parmesan Polenta

Tomato Eggplant Stew over Parmesan Polenta

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Tomato Eggplant Stew

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 large Italian eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds and cut into 6ths
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 14.5-ounce cans stewed tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup greek or kalamata olives, slivered
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup micro arugula, chopped arugula, or other micro greens
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper, plus more to taste

Parmesan Polenta

  • 1½ cups polenta-style enriched cornmeal
  • 6 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Tomato Eggplant Stew

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté until tender and browned, 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the eggplant, red bell pepper, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to brown and soften, about 5-8 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and stewed tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to stew, about 5 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile prepare the polenta.
  5. Remove the lid and continue stewing until most of the moisture is absorbed and vegetables are soft, about 10-15 minutes (the great thing about stew is that you can cook it longer and it's still good. If you're not done with the polenta, keep the stew on low heat until it's nearly ready).
  6. Add the olives, salt, and pepper and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Serve a ladleful over a bowl of fresh polenta. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, feta cheese, and micro arugula.

Parmesan Polenta

  1. Bring the salt and water to boil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Slowly pour in the polenta cornmeal, whisking constantly to combine.
  3. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 15 minutes.
  4. Fold in the butter and parmesan cheese, mixing to combine.
  5. Divide the polenta between serving bowls while it's warm.

    Oh Sarah, you have my heart. Cats + MicroGreens + Eggplant Stew! Love this post… your kiddo makes me melt and this stew… THIS STEW, is crave worthy! Love the ingredients, yes, but I have to say, I’d put soapy cilantro on it. I love cilantro. Now, the eggplant = cilantro for my husband, but he’ll just have to deal. Paired with polenta, I can’t wait to try it! Sadly our nearest Tjs is… yes, you guessed it, about as far as the nearest best sushi place: read, about 1.5 hours! YIKES! Thank you for this Sarah! Your action and overhead shots are perfection!

    Ok, that micro arugula is TOO cute! I have got to keep my eye out for it the next time I’m at Trader Joe’s. Such a pretty topping! I’m obsessed! Looks like little clovers. Love the pictures you got of your cat trying to steel a bite. My dogs are always lurking on the ground when I’m taking pictures hoping to grab a bite of anything that falls.

    And I can’t believe it’s true about people tasting soap instead of cilantro! I’ve heard that, but I assumed people were exaggerating. But if you say it’s true for you, I believe it! I am obsessed with cilantro. I put crazy amounts of it in anything Mexican I cook.

    This stew sounds just delicious Sarah : )

    Too funny about the cilantro at the restaurant – I’ve had that happen to me before except they put nuts in my dish (and I’m allergic!). You just can’t trust anyone haha. ;) I have to say though, cilantro doesn’t even seem like a good flavour pairing with artichokes – parsley would have been much better!

I actually love cilantro now but I had never ever tasted it till I immigrated to the States (Not that common in Argentina), and so when I took my first bite I almost gagged…but by the second and third try I was head over heels, hah!

    When I was in L.A., my (gay) BFF usually made a scene for me whenever we encountered that kind of “straight face” in the restaurant. I was a waiter, so I always avoid causing troubles in the restaurant. Being said that, in your situation, you are 100% allowed to send back that dish since you made them aware you did not want cilantro. What did you do?

    Anyway, congratulations on being featured on Food52, lady. :)

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year. I still prefer my more eclectic cutters to the traditional ones. What’s your favorite cookie cutter in your collection?

I don’t know about you, but I could use a warm hug right about now. A slice of coffee cake with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, a pile of streusel, and a vanilla icing drizzle feels like the food equivalent to that. You’ll find me snuggled up under my favorite blanket with a cup of tea and a slice of coffee cake every evening this week. Find the recipe link in my bio @snixykitchen.
