Eggplant Fatteh By @mattersofthebelly
This fatteh recipe is a tasty combination of eggplant, tomatoes, pita bread and yoghurt sauce.
Made with Polpa
The Mutti Chopped Tomatoes maintains all the freshness of freshly-harvested tomatoes. It’s a unique product because it brings together the tomato juice with its most pulpy part, chopped into extremely fine pieces, a feature which makes it right for long cooking times even at high temperatures, like in the oven. It is ideal for homemade pizza, for recipes with meat, vegetables and legumes and to dress fresh durum wheat pasta or egg pasta
