 Categories: Vegetables, Deal-a-meal, Sparkie
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      4 ts Olive oil
      1 lg Clove garlic, minced
    1/2 c  Chopped onion
      2 c  Peeled, cubed eggplant
  1 1/2 c  Peeled, seeded, chopped
           Tomatoes
           Salt and pepper
  1 1/2 ts Balsamic vinegar
    1/4 c  Chopped, fresh basil or
           1-1/2 ts dried basil
      4 ts Toasted sesame seeds
 
   1.  In medium skillet, heat olive oil, and saute
  garlic and onion until
       onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  
   2.  Stir in eggplant and tomato.  Sprinkle with salt
  and pepper.
  
   3.  Cover and cook over low heat until eggplant is
  tender, about 10
       minutes.
  
   4.  Stir in vinegar and basil.
  
   5.  Cook uncovered 5 minutes longer, stirring
  occasionally.
  
   6.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  
   NOTE: 1 teaspoon sesame seeds = 15 calories (1 joker).
  
   If you can't find balsamic vinegar, (I hope you can
  because it is delicious), try malt vinegar or red wine
  vinegar, or natural rice vinegar.
    Be adventurous.  There are lots of vinegars out
  there.
  
   Know your vegetables.  Choose an eggplant that has a
  smooth, glossy surface.  Avoid an eggplant that is
  dull looking and/or soft.
