Spicy Eggplant, Tomato and Garlic Salad

This delightful eggplant salad has a tasty middle eastern flair!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup SCD legal tomato paste
• 2 Roma tomatoes.
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• 2 tbs. sesame (or any high heat) oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. sweet paprika

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Lightly coat the bottom of a large 9×13 shallow Pyrex baking dish with oil.
3. Trim each eggplant and cube into 1/2 inch sized cubes.
4. Cube the tomatoes as well.
5. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
6. Spread the mixture evenly in a single layer in the baking dish and place the dish in the oven, stirring every 20 minutes until soft.
7. When done, add salt and pepper to taste and mix well.

Notes

1. Adding a dash of smoked paprika can help the flavor pop. We tend to add a bit more smoked paprika in the winter.
2. We like to eat this both warm or cold!
