    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, toss the diced eggplant with two tablespoon of olive oil and salt to taste. Allow this to sit for about ten minutes.
      Meanwhile, prepare a rimmed baking sheet for nonstick. Also, preheat your oven to 400.

      On medium heat and in a large skillet, cook the tomatoes in a tablespoon of olive oil until they begin to burst. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl and return the skillet to your stove.
    • Add the remaining olive oil, turn the heat down to low medium heat, and add the chopped onions to the skillet. Cook the onions, stirring as needed, until they begin to turn translucent. Then stir in the celery and capers and cook until the celery softens- about five minutes.
    • urn the heat down to low and stir in the tomato sauce and olives. Then stir in the vinegar and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring as needed.
      Add the tomatoes back to the skilled and carefully stir in the roasted eggplant. Cook for another three minutes before serving.
