Vegetables occupy a prominent place in Italian cuisine and today we will take a look at eggplants, a vegetable that can be prepared in many different ways.
The recipe that we propose is recommended for those who love the flavors of the earth and do not mind a bit of spicy sauce as a condiment.

Here are the ingredients:
- 3 eggplants
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Cut the eggplants length-wise and leave to soak in water for about twenty minutes. Once dried thoroughly, fry in a tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan. In a saucepan, mix the remaining olive oil together with the lemon juice and spicy sauce. Put the saucepan on the stovetop burner for a few minutes and then add the garlic previously cut into small pieces. Arrange the eggplants on a plate together with the spicy sauce. Finally, add the aromatic herbs and serve at the table.
