Wash the eggplants and cut them in long thin slices. Salt the nicest ones and let them clear out. Cut the rest in small pieces. Scald the tomatoes 30 seconds and peel them.
In a saucepan, cook at low heat the chopped onion and the garlic cloves with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add the small pieces of eggplants and one diced tomato. Cover and let cook for 10 minutes. Set aside.
