ZACUSCA
This is a versatile recipe that my friend Alexandrina gave to me. I adored this recipe from the first time I tried it. It is a Romanian recipe that she brought back from her homeland. It can be served as an appetizer on crackers, as a lunch on bagette or it can be served with pasta as an evening meal. She makes it at harvest time (August/September) and in a large quantity to freeze for future use. According to her, it isn't quite the same when made in small batches!

- On a barbeque, roast the eggplants and bell peppers whole, set aside to cool. Once cooled, peel and drain them. Remove the core and all seeds from the peppers and then julienne them.
- Chop the eggplants.
- Sauté the chopped onions in the oil until softened. Add the chopped eggplants, julienne peppers and bell peppers, as well as the juice from 4 kg boiled and strained tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste).
- Cool and package into useable sizes.
