Roasted Vegetable Spread
The rich and sweet flavors of the roasted vegetables, along with
the tanginess of the capers and vinegar, make this recipe a match
for many items. We love it on toasted bread or crackers, or even as
a sauce over couscous or pasta.
Makes about 4 cups
1 large eggplant, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 garlic cloves, smashed
½ cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
6 jarred roasted red peppers, cut into 2-inch pieces
¾ teaspoon sea salt
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
1½ tablespoons capers, drained
Preheat oven to 375°F with the rack in the upper position.
Toss the eggplant, onion and garlic with 3 tablespoons of the olive
oil. Spread on a baking pan and roast in the preheated oven for
about 35 to 40 minutes, or until vegetables are browned.
Put the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar and roasted peppers
into the jar of your Cuisinart
