A Healthful Recipe for the Diabetic

Sicilian Vegetable Stew
2 lb medium-size eggplants
Salt
1/2 lb onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
1 lb ripe tomatoes, seeded and cut into strips
2 tablespoons capers, drained
2 or 3 celery stalks, chopped
6 oz olives
1/3 cup vinegar of any kind
1 teaspoon Splenda or stevia powder

Wash the eggplants, cut them into small pieces, put them into a large strainer and sprinkle with salt. Set aside to drain for at least 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the onions with one-third of the olive oil in a wide, shallow pan. Cook until golden. Add the tomatoes, capers, celery and olives. Mix well and cook for 15 minutes, set aside.

Rinse the eggplant and dry completely. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over high heat. When the oil reaches its maximum temperature, add the eggplant pieces and fry until well browned. Drain. Stir the eggplant into the tomato mixture.
