*From Preserving The Harvest by Carol W. Costenbader
1 large eggplant, halved lengthwise
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large tomato, diced
3 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs minced chives
1 Tbs fresh basil, minced
Preheat oven to 350*, brush eggplant halves with olive oil, and roast face side down for about an hour, until soft. Let cool, then scoop out and chop flesh.
Saute pepper, onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add eggplant, tomato, lemon juice, chives and basil. Let simmer until everything is soft and heated through, drying up some of the tomato juice. Let cool, then place in freezer containers and freeze.
