This recipe is described perfectly by its name: it is the best mix of both tangy and sweet.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¼ cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook the onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, add the eggplant and cook 10-15 minutes until browned.
  3. Add the onion and celery, the tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar and raisins. Cook 10 more minutes until the mixture has thickened.
