Step by Step Method

Step 1

Soak sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water 15-30 minutes until they soften, then drain and dice; set aside until needed. Or use oil-packed tomatoes and dice.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet; add eggplant, red pepper, and onion along with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic.

Step 3

Cook mixture, stirring occasionally, over medium heat, for 8-9 minutes or until lightly tender, then remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together chopped olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped parsley, toasted almonds, lemon juice, and mint (if using).

Step 5

Mix in cooled eggplant mixture, tossing lightly (add extra-virgin olive oil, salt, or fresh lemon juice if desired to adjust consistency to your taste).

Step 6

Serve salad warm or chilled with fresh pita bread, or alone as a salad or first course.
