1.
Wash, clean and cut the eggplant into ~1 cm wide strips lengthwise, place in a large colander, sprinkle with salt and weigh down with something heavy (e.g., a bowl of water). Let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat the slices dry with kitchen paper and dice them small.

Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. In a pot, sauté in 2 EL hot olive oil until translucent. Add the eggplant, stir and cook for 1-2 minutes in the remaining oil, then pour in the tomatoes and tomato juice. Season with thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Simmer covered for 8-10 minutes.
