Eggplant Pizzas with Pesto,
Ricotta, Caramelized Onion
Ingredients:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
1 box Dominex® Eggplant Cutlets, baked according
to package directions
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
1 jar sun-dried tomato pesto
1 cup full fat ricotta cheese
fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

•
•
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

To make the caramelized onions, heat a medium
cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
Pour the oil in the pan, then the onion, salt, pepper,
and brown sugar. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the
onion begins to soften and brown slightly.
Reduce the heat to low, add the water, and cover.
Cook for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally,
adding more water 2 tablespoons at a time if needed
(if all the liquid has evaporated). The onions will
become sweet, tender, and dark brown in color
when done.
To assemble the eggplant pizzas, top each cooked
(according to package directions) Dominex®
Eggplant Cutlet with about 1 tablespoon sundried tomato pesto. Next, add 1-2 tablespoons
ricotta cheese, then top with 1 tablespoon of the
caramelized onions. Garnish with fresh basil if
desired. Serve immediately, or bake the pizzas at
400 degrees for about 10 minutes to heat through if

Eggplant With Whipped
Feta & Tomatoes
Ingredients:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
cherry tomatoes
4 ounces feta cheese
1/2 cup greek yogurt (I use Stonyfield)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
16 ounce package Dominex® Eggplant Cutlets
2 tablespoons chopped mint
Instructions:
Roasted Tomatoes
• Preheat oven to 250º. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Toss lightly in a bowl with 1 tablespoons olive
oil, salt and pepper. Bake on a piece of parchment
paper for approximately 1 1/2 hours. I always make
extra when doing this, as they keep quite well in the
fridge covered with olive oil. They are like sundried tomatoes and can be tossed into salads and
dips.
Whipped Feta
• While tomatoes are roasting, put feta, yogurt, 2
tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice
in food processor fitted with metal blade. Mix
ingredients until smooth. Taste, and flavor with salt
and pepper (but remember feta is very salty).
•
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 90 minutes
Total Time: 1.75 hours
Yield: 4 servings
Bake Dominex® Eggplant Cutlets according to
instructions. Flip halfway through. Top with
dollop of whipped feta and 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes.
Sprinkle with mint.
