Eggplant Relish
Ingredients
  • 1/4
    cup golden raisins
  • 3
    tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1
    large eggplant (about 1-1/2 lb.)
  • 1
    large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1
    medium green and/or red sweet pepper, chopped
  • 3
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1
    jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 1
    medium tomato, chopped
  • 4
    teaspoons honey
  • 2
    tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Toasted baguette slices (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In nonreactive saucepan combine raisins and vinegar. Bring to boiling; remove from heat, cover; set aside.

2. With tip of knife pierce eggplant in 5 or 6 places. Place on foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Roast for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until eggplant is soft to touch and collapsing. Remove from oven; cool on baking sheet. When cool enough to handle, cut eggplant in half lengthwise; scoop out flesh. Coarsely chop flesh; set aside.

3. In 10-inch skillet cook onion and sweet pepper in hot oil 5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in jalapeno, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Stir in raisin-vinegar mixture, eggplant, tomato, and honey. Bring to simmer and cook 5 minutes; cool. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.

4. To serve, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve with toasted baguette slices. Makes 3 cups.
