Sauce Pimente for Aloco

Ingredients

 * Tomatoes
 * Onion, diced
 * Garlic, crushed
 * Hot peppers, diced
 * Eggplant, peeled and cut into pieces
 * Bouillon (chicken works great)
 * Salt
 * Oil

Directions

 * 1) Fry the onions with a generous amount of oil in a medium pot. While they are browning, pour a bowl full of water and squish the tomatoes into the water to make a juice. Let tomato mixture sit awhile. Add garlic to onions. When onions are opaque and slightly brown, pour tomato water into pot. Add eggplant, hot peppers and bouillon to taste.
 * 2) Boil until the eggplant is soft enough to smash and most of the water has boiled off. Smash the mixture with a fork or puree in a food processor. The finished product should be about the consistency of applesauce. If it is too thin, boil more water off. Salt to taste. If a more tomatoey sauce is desired, add about one to two tablespoons of tomato paste.
