Eggplant Salad

IMG_0230

This is a recipe inspired by Lebanese and Israeli cuisine. It also reminds me a lot of eggplant caponata, only without the olives. Eggplant is cooked with bell peppers, tomatoes and spices, and the result is a delicious appetizer that is best served cold. When served cool and a day later, the flavors are augmented. I like to enjoy my eggplant salad in pita bread with an avocado or dollop of Greek-style yogurt.
