Pan-Fried Eggplant With Onion, Caper and Herb Sauce image

We're growing white eggplants in our garden this year, which they say are supposed to be a bit sweeter than purple. This recipe came off another site then was tweaked just a bit. The first time I made it I left out the capers and used dried parsley and basil and it was still delicious. The topping is also good on fried fish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants (white or purple)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Peel eggplants and slice into 3/4 inch slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt, and let sit about 20 minutes to draw out the water. Blot both sides with paper towel.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook eggplant about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and browned. Remove eggplant to serving dish.
  • While eggplant is cooking, combine capers, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, parsley, basil and 1 tbsp olive oil. For a finely chopped sauce, you can pulse this mixture in a food processor, otherwise can leave as is (if not using capers, leave as is).
  • Add last tbsp olive oil to pan, heat about 30 seconds, then add red onion and saute 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute another minute. Add caper mixture and heat through for about a minute.
  • Pour sauce over eggplant and serve immediately.
