While cumin, paprika and cilantro provide bold flavor to this tasty dish feel free to experiment with spices to give your gish a personal flavor signature. A garnish of http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/other-side-dish/jben-fresh-morrocan-cheese-diabetic-o-k.html cheese is recommended.

How To Make moroccan eggplant with tomatoes, diabetic

1
Trim ends off eggplant, with a paring knife. Pare off alternating strips of skin so that the eggplant appears striped. Cut the eggplant into 1-inch cubes. Sprinkle with salt and toss well.

2
In a 10-inch saute pan, warm canola oil over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and saute 1 minute. Add the garlic and saute 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low and cover pan; sweat eggplant for 10 minutes until soft
3
Stir in cumin, paprika, and cilantro, and saute until mixture smells fragrant, about 10 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to a boil
4
Turn heat to medium-low and saute until mixture is thickened and some eggplant is smooth and some chunky, about 7 minutes. Turn off heat and let mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to settle the flavors.
