Author Notes: after receiving lots of jalapenos from a friends garden, we tried them in one of our favorite eggplant preparations...

this dish is wonderful at room temp, tossed into salads, served with a piece of fish or a lamb chop...even served with some fresh mozzarella alongside. - Carole Magness

Serves 4

1 1/2 pound sliced eggplant, any kind
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium jalapeno pepper, chopped fine
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
3/4 cups thinly sliced mint mint leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

Toss eggplant with a good pinch of salt, pepper, and the olive oil
spread on a sheet pan; parchment lined is best; place in a 400 degree oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until tender, but not mushy
Combine, pepper, garlic ,capers and mint
Cool eggplant, layer with marinade, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and let sit in a cool place a few hours. A nice dish in summer..
