Tender pan-fried eggplant slices are covered in a tangy balsamic glaze and topped with fresh basil and salty capers in this vegan recipe. It's a great mix of tastes and textures that works well as an appetizer or light meal.
Ingredients: 1 large eggplant, sliced into rounds. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped. 2 tablespoons capers, drained. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Pan-fry eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once eggplant is cooked, transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle the balsamic mixture over the cooked eggplant slices. Sprinkle chopped basil leaves and capers on top. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.
