Steps:
- Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes and transfer to a colander. Toss with 2 tablespoons sea salt. Let drain 1 hour.
- While eggplant drains, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté three fourths of garlic, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juice, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart saucepan, then cook celery until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Gently squeeze eggplant to remove excess moisture and pat dry. Heat 1/4 inch oil (about 2 cups) in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer, then fry eggplant in 4 batches, stirring and turning constantly with a slotted spoon, until browned and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Transfer to paper towels.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet, then reduce heat to moderate and cook onion, bell pepper, and remaining garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 10 minutes. Add tomato sauce, eggplant, celery, olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and remaining teaspoon sea salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature, uncovered, then chill, covered, at least 8 hours.
- Just before serving, stir in parsley and basil. Serve cold or at room temperature.
MINTY SWEET AND SOUR EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
An absolutely delightful canape or side dish with lamb or grilled fish from Madhur Jaffrey. It's easiest done with long, skinny Japanese eggplant, but it works equally as well with standard Italian eggplant, cut into half-circles. You can slice and broil the eggplant in advance and do the final touches just before you're ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and position the rack on the top level.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with oil.
- If using Japanese eggplants, slice on the diagonal 1/3 inch thick.
- If using Italian eggplants, slice in half lengthwise, and then cut slices 1/3 inch thick.
- Lay as many as will fit on the baking sheet and brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Broil until lightly browned.
- Turn and repeat.
- If you have more slices than will fit on one baking sheet, repeat the process until all slices have been browned.
- Turn off broiler and pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Toast the cumin seeds in a small saute pan until they darken and give off an aroma.
- Cool the seeds and place in a bowl with the rest of the seasoning ingredients.
- Lay the eggplant slices in a baking dish in slightly over-lapping rows or concentric circles. Dribble or brush over each row the seasoning mixture until all slices are used.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. (Result is a lovely casserole/gratin of eggplant to serve as a side.
- In the alternative, place slices on baking sheet, brush with seasoning mixture and bake till mixture is absorbed. (Result is a canape which can be served on its own).
- Beware--the aroma is so good you will be tempted to pick one up and eat it to the despair of your fingertips and tongue.
- As a canape or a side, the eggplant can be served hot or at room temperature.
