About

Narrow, lightweight lavender Oriental-type eggplant is the most dependably sweet and tender type for this and other recipes, Eastern or Western. Prepared roasted peppers are a handy shortcut to a bright sauce that moistens and seasons the eggplant.

Ingredients

White part of 1 medium scallion (green onion)
1-inch ginger chunk, peeled
1 or 2

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice scallion and ginger. Seed and slice chilli(s). Drain and rinse jarred peppers, if using. Combine scallion, ginger, chilli(s), and bell pepper in food processor with honey, salt, vinegar, and oil. Puree until smooth.
