Steps of preparation
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Heat some Planeta olive oil in a pan and brown the onions over low heat.
- Add garlic and fresh thyme.
- Sauté over medium heat for 2 minutes (do not let garlic brown).
- Stir in tomatoes and simmer gently for about 15 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
- Season and set aside.
- Brown eggplant slices on the grill without oil.
- Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
- Finish cooking in the oven (10 minutes), then cut into strips.
- In a large bowl, combine onion-tomato blend, eggplant strips, celery slices, capers and vinegar.
- Carefully toss with arugula, then season.
- Transfer to a plate and top with a tablespoon of sour cream.
- Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and add a drizzle (or more!) of Planeta extra virgin olive oil.
- Serve as a side dish with fish.
- For the picture, we seared a quality tuna steak over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. We then cut it into cubes and divided them between plates before serving.
