Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Sprinkle the eggplant cubes with kosher salt and set them in a colander to sweat for 20 to 30 minutes if you have time. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Toss the eggplant cubes on a sheet pan with about 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until browned.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the yellow onion, red bell pepper and celery, season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes, capers, green olives, raisins, honey, bay leaf and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Pour in the red wine vinegar and dry white wine, stir, and simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.
  6. Stir the roasted eggplant into the sauce and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Finish with the chopped parsley and mint.
