Ingredients
1 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 small onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup red wine, divided (1/4 cup plus 1/4 cup)

1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or more to taste
1 15-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes, or 1 1/2 cups roasted tomatoes

Directions
Soak eggplant chunks in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again. Braise onions, celery, and garlic in 1/4 cup wine. When vegetables are soft, add eggplant and 1/4 cup water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add more water if necessary to keep mixture from drying out.
