Directions

1. Preheat over to 425F and set rack to middle.  Cut eggplant into 1" squares and mix well with a 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and a 1/2 tsp pepper.  Place eggplant on parchment paper lined baking sheet, making sure to not overcrowd the pieces.  Roast in over for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked through and soft in the middle.

2. Saute 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup of red onion in a 1/4 of olive oil for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.  Add in 6 oz of Marina's Italian Style Tomato Sauce and continue to cook for 3 more minutes.

3. To the pan, add the 1 cup of pitted green olives, 1/8 cup rinsed capers, 1/4 cup raisins,  Tbsp sugar, and 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar.  Cook for 5 minutes allowing the vinegar and sugar to cook through and incorporate.

4. Add the roasted eggplant to the pan and gently mix it all together being careful to not crush the eggplant.  Taste test and make any last minute adjustments to salt, pepper or sugar.  The last step is to add in the 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and to plate.  Enjoy now or allow the flavors to better blend overnight in the refrigerator.
