Eggplant Caponatina

I have a lot of eggplant in my garden, so I am looking for various ways to prepare it. This was served as a side dish in the recipe, but I served it as a meatless main dish over brown rice.

I omitted the olives since I had none and they were very expensive in the store. I will look for them on sale when I make this dish again.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 8 side servings and 4-6 main servings

Ingredients:

1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup oil (I used less)
3 cups chopped eggplant
3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
6 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped olives
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Saute onion and garlic.

Add eggplant, mushrooms and green pepper. Mix well. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add tomato paste, water, vinegar, olives and seasonings. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until you get the consistency you like.
