Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 lbs eggplants, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
kosher salt
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 red pepper, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1/2 red onion, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch dice
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a colander over a bowl, combine the eggplant with enough kosher salt to coat evenly.
  • Let the eggplant sit for 30 minutes then rinse in cold water and wring out any excess moisture with your hands; pat dry.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
  • Add the eggplant and brown on all sides; remove from the heat and drain on paper towels.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the pot and then add the celery, red pepper and red onion.
  • Sauté for several minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and brown a little.
  • Add the eggplant, capers, pine nuts, white wine vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes until the vegetables have cooked through and the liquid reduced.
