- i do, i do...... although i have not named this dish.
-
- olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (or 6 if you're so inclined)
- 1 large eggplant (aubergine) or 6 japanese ones, chopped into cubes,
- skin-on or off, optional
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 2 T good tomato paste
- 1/3 dry red wine (optional, add water if you are wine-averse)
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano leaf (less if you use powder)
- 2 tsp sugar
- salt and pepper if you think it needs it
- 3 T balsamic vinegar
- 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, mostly drained (6 oz or so)
- 12 interesting olives, halved (tangy or spicy ones, not black and
- bland and out of a can)
-
- saute onion and garlic in oil.
-
- add eggplant, green onion, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and
- sugar and cover. stir once or twice while the eggplant cooks
- all the way through.
-
- optional part - i do this only if time permits..... puree
- half of the cooked eggplant and stir it back into the rest of
- the chunks.
-
- add the balsamic vinegar. (don't cook it any more after adding
- it, or add more just before serving) Add the artichoke hearts
- and the sliced olives.
-
- serve with pasta, quinoa, rice or a sturdy bread. and of course,
- with the rest of the red wine.
-
- i don't know what to call this. i just make it and it disappears.
