- Trim and peel the eggplants. Slice into 1 1/2-inch slices. Place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. salt. Let rest for 20 min, then rinse off the salt, turn the slices and sprinkle the other side with a Tbsp. of salt. Let rest 20 min, then rinse.
- Heat one-fourth c. extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the eggplant slices in batches, adding oil as needed, up to one-half c. (three-fourths c. total). Cook on both sides till caramelized and golden, about 3 min per side.
- Place the slices on a baking sheet and finish cooking in a 400-degree oven till very soft, about 10 min. Cold. Roughly chop the eggplant till it forms a paste.
- In the meantime, place the garlic cloves in a piece of foil and drizzle with 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil. Seal and bake in a 400-degree oven till soft and golden, about 30 min. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skin and use the flat side of a large knife to mash it into a paste.
- Heat the remaining 2 tsp. of oil in a small pan. Add in the onion and cook on medium-low heat till translucent/soft, about 5 min.
- Place the eggplant paste in a large bowl and stir in the onion, roasted garlic paste, minced parsley, brown sugar, vinegar, capers, tomato paste, chili flakes, the remaining tsp. salt and the pepper.
- Chill till ready to serve. Serve with thin slices of sourdough or possibly whole grain bread. (Makes 4 c.)
