Eggplant In Date Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons oil
3 red onions, thinly sliced
1 eggplant, cubed (I use 2 or 3)
salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup vegetable broth
3/4 cup dates, pitted
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon rose water (I have subbed a smaller amount of orange water and it was fine)
water, as needed

Preparation

In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the onions in the oil until they are soft.
Add the eggplant, and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
Saute until the eggplant is browned.
Add the spices and cook for 1 minute.
Add the vegetable broth and gently simmer for about 10 minutes, until eggplant is cooked.
Puree the dates with the lemon juice and rose water in a food processor, adding enough water to make a creamy paste.
Stir this into the eggplant and enjoy.
