Ingredients
- 4 tbsp oil olive or avocado, divded
- 2 large eggplants (about 4 cups) diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup celery finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 large tomatoes (about 2 cups) diced
- 1/2 cup pitted green olives roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp capers
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp salt adjust to preference
- 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 tbsp of oil. Add the diced eggplant and sauté until it is cooked through and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. Transfer the eggplant to a clean plate.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, and cook until they are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the tomatoes, olives, capers, tomato paste, sugar, and red wine vinegar. Season the mixture to taste with salt and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened.
- Add the cooked eggplant back in. Toss everything together and cook for another few minutes, just until it's all incorporated. Sprinkle with the fresh basil and enjoy!
