Name: Escabeche De Atun Y Berenjena (Something of Tuna and Eggplan
Ingredients: 1/2 c Olive oil; 1/2 lb Onions; sliced thin; 1/2 lb Green peppers; roasted, peeled and cut into thin strips; 1/4 lb Carrots; sliced thin or julienned; 2 tb Tomato paste; 1/2 c Tomato sauce; 4 lg Garlic cloves; sliced thinly ( I mince); 2 sm Bay leaves; 1/4 ts Dried oregano; 1/4 ts White pepper; 2 ts Salt; 1 lb Tomatoes; peeled, squeezed and seeded (canned are ok); 3/4 lb Eggplant; in small cubes; 1/2 c Olives (which I skip); 2 cn Tuna (6 1/2 oz each)

It was [Paul’s] mission as the “apostle to the Gentiles,” and it is the universal church’s mission as well, to promote that harmony of cultures in Christ that the cross brings them (or, we might say, forces upon them for their good). Imagine what it took for this former Jewish leader to accept that the Jews’ lofty position as God’s chosen people is not ultimately about ethnic Jews, but only Jewish Christians who share the position with “Gentile dogs” who have also become Christians. The promises made to the Jews are for all who are in Christ; the inheritance is both for Jews and Gentiles. We are all members of one body. The immensity of this new knowledge is not only enough to cause every God-fearing Jew to scream curses at Paul, but is the very reason Gentiles like me have any hope whatsoever. Paul carried this message everywhere.

INSTRUCTIONS

My aunt's friend, who gave me the recipe, calls it antipasto, but I, being
of a purist turn of thought, refuse to do that. I call it Escabeche de Atun
Y Berenjena. (something of tuna and eggplant) I'm not sure of the
translation of escabeche. (Don't tell my boss...translations are on my job
description!) Sort of pickled, sort of seviche, but actually cooked and
served cold.
Have everything chopped and ready to go (mise en place). heat oil over med.
heat in large pot. add onions, green peppers, garlic and bay leaves. cook
slightly (5 min), stirring occassionally. Add rest of ingredients except
tuna. cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring every 10 or so. After this
time, add tuna and cook another 30 min, uncovered the last 10. Take off
heat, cool slightly, turn onto glass or ceramic bowl (her notes, not mine),
cover and refrigerate. serve cold with crackers.
