Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces small round white eggplants, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 small red onion, peeled, thinly sliced
2 ounces French feta cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted, quartered lengthwise
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt on both sides. Place in a colander over a bowl, and let stand 1 hour to drain. Discard liquid, and rinse under cold running water. Place eggplant slices on several layers of paper towels; press out water.
  • Transfer eggplant to a nonreactive surface. Generously brush both sides with oil; sprinkle with pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add slices of eggplant (without crowding); cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat process with remaining slices.
  • Place the eggplant, onion, feta, olives, and oregano in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Gently toss mixture to combine, and serve warm or at room temperature.
