- 2 small eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 ounces oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar

- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste
- Place eggplants in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and leave to drain for 30 minutes.
