ingredients
1/2 cup olive oil, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 can (28 ounce size) whole plum tomatoes, drained
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 lbs. size), trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
4 banana peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
sour cream, for serving
directions
Heat 2 Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened. Add the coriander and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the tomatoes, sugar, pepper, and salt. Using a fork, break up the tomatoes lightly and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and mint.
Light the grill. Toss the eggplant with 6 Tbsp of the oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill the eggplant for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and soft. Set aside on a platter.
Toss the peppers with the remaining 2 Tbsp oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grill the peppers for 5 minutes on the first side, then turn them and grill for 2 minutes on the second side.
Layer the eggplant and pepper slices on a platter. Spoon the tomato sauce, garnish with additional parsley and serve with a dollop of sour cream in the middle.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
