Chichoumeille

Chichoumeille is a traditional dish originating from Languedoc. The dish is made with a combination of eggplants, onions, tomatoes, olive oil, bell peppers, salt, and black pepper. The eggplants are diced, sprinkled with salt, drained, and then browned in olive oil. Once the eggplants are soft, the onions are added with a bit of olive oil, the mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper, and it's cooked without breaking the eggplants. Tomatoes and peppers are added near the end of cooking and simmered until just cooked. Chichoumeille can be served hot or cold, and it's typically served as an accompaniment to roast or sautéed chicken.
