Today i went in the supermarket to buy something for my daughter and i found the sliced swordfish. It'very difficult to find in Doha so i took it right away. Once got home, i tought to preparing something typical of my land: casarecce with swordfish, eggplant and mint. I was lucky to have all the other ingredientes at home already!

Cutting the eggplant into cubes of 1 cm. Put them in a bowl with water and salt and leave them for 30 minutes, just the time that the eggplant lose the bitterness. then wash  and dry them with a cloth. Put some oil in a pan to fry the eggplant cubes, when they are golden, remove and put them on the side. cutting the fish into cubes of 1 cm also and the tomatoes in 4 pieces.
