 Ingredients
1 Medium Eggplant, diced
1 Small Vidalia Onion, Diced
2 Tbsp Pine Nuts
2 Tbsp Golden Raisins
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Hershey Special Dark Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 cup Tomato Pasta Sauce
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp Dried Thyme
Extra Virgin Olive Oil spray
1/4 cup Fresh Mint (or more...I like a LOT)
Directions
1. Heat a large, straight sided skillet over medium high heat and spray EVOO spray to coat.
2. Add the onion, pine nuts and raisins and sauté for five minutes.
3. Add the sugar, eggplant, cocoa powder and cinnamon. Sauté for an additional five minutes.
4. Add the balsamic vinegar, tomato sauce and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer a final five minutes.
5. Cool the mixture to room temperature and top with fresh chopped mint.
***It helps to get the groups of ingredients together before you add them for each step as the cooking goes pretty quickly.
