Ingredients

1/4 c. oil (enough to fry onion)
1 medium onion

In a frying pan, saute onion in oil with fresh garlic to taste (or garlic powder) until soft.
Slice and peel eggplant and then cube and place into pan.

Let cook for about fifteen minutes, adding a little water, if necessary.
Check periodically until eggplant becomes soft and mushy.
