2 teaspoons oregano
1/2 teaspoon sweet basil

Food Processor Directions: Peel and slice eggplants. Sprinkle lightly with salt and allow to stand 30 minutes. To prepare the sauce: Peel onion and garlic, cut into chunks, and place in the processor container. Add the parsley. Process until mixture is finely chopped. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a frying pan. Add onion mixture and saute until golden. Drain tomatoes (reserve liquid for soup or beverage) and place in food processor, using steel blade. Process until puréed.
