Description
This roasted eggplant salsa is spiked with fresh ginger, jalapeno, soy sauce and sesame oil for a decidedly Asian flavor. Serve as a dip with rice crackers or toasted pita chips or use as a topping for grilled salmon or chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1⁄4 c rice vinegar
- 2 T sesame oil
- 4 t soy sauce
- 1 T minced fresh ginger
- 1 T sugar
- 1 large red bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange the eggplant cubes on the prepared baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and completely tender. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the red pepper, onion, jalapeno and roasted eggplant. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.
