Directions
Sauteed Eggplant With Tomatoes and Balsamic Vinegar, This recipe is from the vegetarian cookbook Mediterranean Harvest Soaking the eggplant in water first prevents it from soaking up a lot of oil when sauteed Easy, healthy and surprisingly satisfying when served with crusty bread and olive oil for dipping , This recipe came out way way too salty I tried rinsing out the salt before I drained the eggplant, but apparently the eggplant had soaked it up The canned tomatoes just added to the salt content Any suggestions on how to salvage this dish would be appreciated I love the combination of eggplant and balsamic vinegar Janet, Except that I halved everything, I fixed it as written It was delicious In fact, I think it is one of the three best eggplant dishes I have had Period
