    2 pt. Spicy Eggplant Salad


    Source of Recipe


    Nancy Berry

    List of Ingredients




    3 medium eggplants
    2 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt -- kosher salt
    1/4 cup corn oil
    1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes -- or minced chilies
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 tablespoon dried mint flakes -- crushed

    Recipe



    Slice the eggplants crosswise into 1 1/2 inch thick pieces. Sprinkle them with 2 teaspoons coarse salt and let stand for 15 minutes. Rinse eggplants under cold water, which removes the bitter taste, rinse, and dry well on a towel. Heat the oil in a skillet and lightly brown eggplant slices over moderate heat for 3 minutes. Remove and put into a serving bowl. Cool. Put the tomato sauce, pepper, chile, cinnamon, mint and 1/2 teaspoon salt, if wanted, in a pan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, which is long enough to integrate the flavors. Pour this over the eggplant; refrigerate until ready to use. The salad can remain in the refrigerator for several days. Serve cold or at room temperature.

    Serving Size : 8

    JENN'S LOWER FAT NOTE: If you eliminate the oil and just use cooking spray this meal is a ZERO POINT MEAL.
