The meaty texture of the eggplant, the sweetness of the red peppers and the brininess of the capers create a dish full of flavor that could easily be served as a tasty side. Ingredients:
1 medium eggplant (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
1 medium red bell pepper |
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion |
3 tablespoons capers |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Pierce eggplant several times with a fork; place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 30 minutes or until blackened, turning frequently. Cool eggplant slightly; peel and chop.
3. Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and chop.
4. Combine eggplant, bell pepper, onion, and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; toss well.
