Ingredients

  • 6 medium eggplants

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • fresh or dried oregano to taste

  • fresh basil to taste

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce eggplants several times with a fork, and place on a baking sheet.

  2. Bake in the preheated oven until completely softened, about 1 ½ hours. Cool completely, then remove skin and finely chop the flesh. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and set aside.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic: cook and stir until lightly browned. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, sugar, oregano, and basil until well blended and sugar is dissolved: pour over eggplant, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss again. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
