  2. In a pan, sauté 1 julienned onion and 1 julienned red pepper in 1 tea glass (about 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) of vegetable oil. Add 4 grated tomatoes. Stir in 3 finely chopped garlic cloves, 1 dessert spoon (about 2 tsp) of salt, and 2 sugar cubes, and cook until the tomatoes are done.
  3. Fill the hollowed eggplants with the prepared stuffing and arrange them in a pot. Add water to reach halfway up the eggplants and cook until tender.
