Yield Makes about 1 quart, or 10 servings (as part of antipasti)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lb eggplant (preferably small but not Asian)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (preferably Sicilian)
2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups olive oil
11 garlic cloves (from 2 heads), chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste (preferably from a tube)
1 (28-oz) can whole Italian tomatoes, finely chopped and juice reserved
5 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red or yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup large green Sicilian olives (6 oz), pitted and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup drained bottled capers, rinsed
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a colander. Toss with 2 tablespoons sea salt. Let drain 1 hour.
  • While eggplant drains, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté three fourths of garlic, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juice, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart saucepan, then cook celery until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  • Gently squeeze eggplant to remove excess moisture and pat dry. Heat 1/4 inch oil (about 2 cups) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer, then fry eggplant in 4 batches, stirring and turning constantly with a slotted spoon, until browned and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Transfer to paper towels.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet, then reduce heat to moderate and cook onion, bell pepper, and remaining garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, eggplant, celery, olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and remaining teaspoon sea salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
  • Just before serving, stir in parsley and basil. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Eggs: To ensure the best results, use fresh, high-quality eggs. Fresh eggs will have a brighter yolk and thicker white, resulting in a more flavorful and visually appealing dish.
  • Marinate the Eggs: Marinating the eggs before cooking is a great way to infuse them with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar, or you can get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Cook the Eggs Properly: The key to tender and juicy sweet and sour eggs is to cook them properly. Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as this will make them tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, then remove them from the heat and let them cool.
  • Use a Good Quality Sauce: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality sauce. You can either make your own sauce or use a store-bought sauce. If you are using a store-bought sauce, be sure to taste it first and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Add Vegetables for Extra Flavor and Nutrition: To add extra flavor and nutrition to the dish, you can add vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Simply stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender, then add them to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its sweet, tangy, and savory flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give sweet and sour eggs a try.
