Ingredients

  • 3 medium eggplants
  • 1 lb/500 g tomatoes
  • 2lb/1kg chicken thighs
  • 3 onions
  • 3 carrots sliced round
  • 3 green peppers
  • 1 parsley root
  • 1 celery root sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mixed parsley and dill
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 1bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • a few whole black peppers
  • 1 tablespoon oregano and thyme
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • salt

Directions

1

Wash the eggplants, remove the stem and cut into 1/2 inch rounds.

2

Sprinkle with salt and let rest for 1 hour. Drain each slice well and dry it with a clean cloth, fry in oil, on both sides, at medium heat.

3

After all eggplants have been fried, fry the thighs, and then fry the thinly sliced onions and vegetables in the remaining oil until softened.

4

In a pan, arrange a layer of tomato rounds (reserve about 1/3 of the tomatoes for sauce), then a layer of fried eggplants, sprinkle with some minced garlic, then a layer of fried thighs sprinkled with salt, oregano and thyme, then a layer of fried vegetables sprinkled with some salt.

5

Repeat this procedure until everything is used up.

6

The last layer must be tomatoes.

7

Boil the remaining tomatoes with 2-3 tablespoons of water, strain; add some salt, dusted flour and 1/2 teaspoon sugar.

8

Pour this sauce over the eggplants and then bake until almost all liquid is reduced.

9

Turn onto the serving platter and serve warm with sprinkled parsley, dill and crumbled feta.
