Steps:
- Toss eggplant with salt and place in a colander set over a bowl. Let sit, about 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet. Add eggplant and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in celery mixture, tomatoes, olives, capers, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until caponata is thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Season caponata with vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.

EASIEST EGGPLANT
I found that some of the best recipes are the easiest! Try this once, and more than likely you'll make it again and again. And another bonus: if you choose to use low-fat mayonnaise, you'll save the fat and calories that are absorbed when eggplant is fried.

BAKED CREOLE EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
From the old Delmonico's Restaurant. That's the old classic Delmonico's, before it became Emeril's Delmonico. I have no idea if this dish or anything like it is still on the menu, but it's most certainly worth making at home ... a Creole classic!

CREOLE EGGPLANT SOUP
Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until all are golden. Add a small amount of water if the mixture becomes dry. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, for another minute.
- Add the potato and eggplant dice with enough water to cover all but about an inch of the vegetables. Bring to a rapid simmer. At this point you should be able to push all the vegetables below the water. Lower the heat, add the basil, thyme, and curry, and stir well. Cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are quite tender.
- Stir in the parsley and enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the creamer, then season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer over very low heat for 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve at once, or if time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or so, then heat through before serving.

Steps:
- Wash and slice the eggplant.
- Sprinkle well with some salt in a strainer and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Rinse salt off well, and pat dry on towelling.
- Heat the first amount of oil in a fry pan and saute each slice of eggplant just until golden with brown colourings.
- Arrange eggplant in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Hint: sometimes I brush oil on my eggplant and place on a cookie sheet, and bake in the oven turning once to brown each side, maybe a total of 12 minutes, instead of the frying.
- Also with the pan frying you might have to add more oil, as the eggplant will absorb the oil.
- (or use peanut oil which does not get too absorbed into vegie.).
- After layering into your baking dish set oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat the second tablespoon on olive oil in a skillet and saute onion, peppers, and celery for 5 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook two minutes.
- Add the paste, and water and spices.
- Cook until thickened.
- Pour over the eggplant evenly.
- Sprinkle with the romano cheese.
- Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle with the black pepper freshly ground.
- Bake in the oven until cheese is melted and browned and all is heated thru.
- approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- As you can tell from this recipe each item is already cooked to your preference before going into the oven for final 15 minutes.
- So the thickness of the sauce and doness of the eggplant is already almost to its peak.
- Alternative topping.
- 3 whole eggs, a quarter cup of cheese grated and 1 cup bread crumbs, make a paste and smear over the top evenly (like a pie crust) then place in oven to bake the 20 minutes.
