  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.
