Ok, for those not obsessed by pickling, here's a tasty recipe my housemate, Liliana made with the remaining eggplants. Oh and did I mention that she's Italian and loves cooking? Yes, we are lucky here at the Byway. I don't have a picture, but it's basically pasta with a reddish sauce. You will need:
I'm no 100% sure this is the process she used (I will verify), but this will probably get very similar and tasty results. We had this with grilled chicken and other veggies. The olives are surprisingly mild and compliment the eggplant's flavor.
- One box of linguine
- 2-3 small eggplants, diced
- 2 bell peppers of various colors, diced
- One large can of plum tomatoes, diced
- One medium onion, diced
- 1/2 c. kalamata olives (pits removed), and chopped coarsely
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- An armload of fresh basil, washed and chopped
- 1/4-1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese + more to taste
