Ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp good sweet paprika .
  • 2 lbs eggplants, peeled & cubed .
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed .
  • 3/4 c sweet white onions, grated .
  • 2 tbsps lemon juice .
  • 2 tbsps vegetable oil .
  • 1/2 c green bell peppers, very finely minced .
  • 1 tsp sugar .
  • 1/2 tsp salt .
  • 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper

Directions
  • Step #1 Brown the eggplant in the oil.
  • Step #2 No need to salt or fiddle at all with the eggplant.
  • Step #3 I do this In a large-ish skillet on moderate heat & wait quite a while before moving or turning the cubes.
  • Step #4 You want it nicely browned & cooked through though not mush.
  • Step #5 The given amount of oil is enough to do this & I have never had to add more.
  • Step #6 Your pan will look overfull but the eggplant will shrink.
  • Step #7 While the eggplant is browning prepare the onions, peppers & garlic & place this into a glass or plastic bowl.
  • Step #8 Pour eggplant, hot, & it's oil (if any left, though the oil will drain back from the eggplant into the salad during standing for the dressing.
  • Step #9 ) into the bowl over the onion mixture.
  • Step #10 Top with remaining ingredients & mix well.
  • Step #11 Refrigerate at least 6 hrs & serve chilled or room temperature.
  • Step #12 Please use fresh lemon juice & to taste.
  • Step #13 The amount I use is the juice of 1 fresh lemon.
  • Step #14 Not easy to give an exact measurement on how much juice 1 lemon will yield but I always use 1 lemon.
  • Step #15 This does need to sit so figure in the sitting time as part of the cook time.
