Viewed: 0 - Published at: 4 years agoIngredients
- 1 large eggplant, peeled, cut into 1 inch cubes (can opt to not peel, can opt for smaller than 1-inch cubes)
- olive oil, mist (for baking tray)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (more, to taste)
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon marjoram or 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup packed finely minced parsley
- 2 small scallions, very finely minced
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper, minced
- 1/2 medium green bell pepper, minced
- 1 medium tomatoes, diced
- Optional Garnishes
- olive (Greek, oil-cured or Nicoise)
- yogurt
- crumbled feta cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F Spread the eggplant cubes onto a lightly oiled baking tray, and roast in the oven about 15 minutes, or until tender enough so a fork can slide in easily. Remove from oven.
- Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, herbs, and lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl. Add the still-warm eggplant and stir. Cover, and let sit for at least 2 hours. (At this stage, it will keep in the refrigerator for several days).
- Add the remaining vegetables within an hour or two of serving. Serve garnished with olives and yogurt or crumbled feta cheese.
