Method

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Toss eggplant with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with salt.

Place a piece of unbleached parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

Spread eggplant in single layer over the parchment paper.

Bake eggplant for 25 minutes or until tender.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a pan; add onion, celery and garlic and cook over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add tomatoes and eggplant; continue to cook for 3 minutes.

Add vinegar, pine nuts, capers, sugar, and chili flakes, if desired.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until tomatoes are tender and vegetables are melding together.

Garnish with minced olives. Refrigerate for four hours or overnight.
