This recipe is a classic Sicilian eggplant relish dish that is served aside fish dishes or as an appetizer. I like eggplant even its most simplest cooked form, but I often come across people who consider it dull and tasteless on its own. This recipe satisfies everyone, because it infuses great taste into the eggplant and provides a sweet and savory experience for your palette. It also tastes even better the next day! Enjoy!
Eggplant: lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol with its chlorogenic compound, is anti-carcinogenic due to its antioxidant nasunin content, is a great source of dietary fiber, protects against colon cancer, and is a great source of vitamin A, B vitamins, folate and vitamin C.
