My review
Linda's Summertime Eggplant Salsa
6
Linda Glenn
"This recipe is a variation of Sicilian Caponata, which is an eggplant relish served in Sicily as a topping for brushetta or as a condiment served with meat or fish. My family loves it as a dip for tortilla chips or even by the spoonful (if no one's looking!). Be sure to microwave the eggplant, or it will absorb too much oil and become mushy."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Toss the eggplant with the kosher salt and spread out onto a microwave-safe plate. Cook in the microwave on High until the eggplant is dry and has shriveled to 1/3 of its original size, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Whisk the tomato juice cocktail, vinegar, red wine, brown sugar, parsley, and anchovies together in a large bowl. Stir in the tomatoes, raisins, black olives, green olives, zucchini, yellow squash, celery, red bell pepper, and carrot; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges have browned, 4 to 8 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil along with the celery and onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened, about 4 minutes more. Stir in the vegetable mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until the liquid thickens and begins to coat the vegetables, 4 to 7 minutes more. Scrape into a bowl and stir in the pine nuts. Refrigerate to room temperature. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and serve.

Just made mine and added Linda's toasted pine nuts which made it even better. Great as a snack in scoops.

Far too many ingredients and mostly what I tasted was wine mixed with brown sugar.

I thought this recipe was good, while other people loved it. After it sat overnight the raisins kicked in and made it pretty sweet. I might omit the raisins the next time.

This was really fantastic. It was different palette for us, but it worked so well. I did not have V8 but I had extra tomatoes and carrots and celery. I added 4 cloves of garlic, a jalapeno, a...

I made several minor changes to the recipe. I would rate the recipe as I made it only three stars, but I believe that had I followed the recipe more closely, it would have been 4 stars, hence th...

Used crushed canned tomatoes and tomato paste in place of V8 since I didn't have any at the house. Also, I omitted the cheese as I am lactose intolerant and didn't have any pine nuts on hand,bu...

After three tries I just can't get this to more than a fall back for eggplants on clearance. Good and worth trying but just don't hit home for us.
