Categories     Salad     Cheese     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3/4 pounds eggplant (any kind, or a mixture), trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 pound mixed bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. 2. Toss eggplant with 1/3 cup vinaigrette, reserving the rest. Arrange on a baking sheet. Bake, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden around edges, about 30 minutes. Let eggplant cool somewhat. (It can be warm but not hot enough to melt feta or wilt mint.) 3. Whisk feta, garlic and capers into reserved vinaigrette. In a large bowl, combine eggplant, peppers, tomatoes and mint leaves. Toss with vinaigrette, and serve immediately or within several hours. (It holds up all day.)

I'm not a big fan of mint, so I used basil instead. It was still very good.

I didn't have any capers, so I used olives instead. It was just as good.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and I wasn't sure what to do with it. I found this recipe and it was the perfect solution.
