1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Peel eggplants; cut into large cubes. Toss with half of the olive oil and place in a shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring once; set aside.
2. Heat remaining oil in a large skillet. Cook tomato with garlic, marjoram, coriander, salt, and red pepper until tomato is just softened. Add eggplant; reduce heat to low.
