INSTRUCTIONS
1997 NOTICE: This recipe uses half a globe eggplant. Cut a whole eggplant into 1/3" slices (about 12 slices). Transfer slices to a cookie sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle the slices with a little fresh ground coarse salt. Freeze 2 to 4 hours. Bag half of the slices and return to the freezer; cube the remainding slices for this recipe. Have everything recipe-ready, including the spice blend. Heat wok to high on a fast burner. Spray and saute the eggplant about 3 to 4 minutes. To enhance the spices [see notes], add them now. Make a well; add spices and warm them a little before incorporating; toss to coat the eggplant. Make a well. Toss the onion and garlic with half the oil and fry in the wok until softened (2 to 3 minutes). Make a well. Toss the bell peppers with the remaining oil and fry until aromatic (about 2 mins). Add the garbanzo beans and warm through. Make a well; add the wine and burn off alcohol (about 1 min.) Add the drained tomatoes and heat through; stir to combine. Add a little of the tomato juice if desired. Taste and adjust salt and pepper and/or other seasonings (see cook's note.) Toss with angel hair pasta and serve with a little parmesan cheese.

Colorful dish: serve half as a pasta topping; and chill other half and use in a Caponata. Recipe from Clare Gordon-Smith (1996) Basic Flavorings: Olive Oil (Courage Books).
