Eggplant saute for the winter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, zucchini makes a good substitute though it has higher water content. For similar texture, try using firm mushrooms or increase carrots. Keep the vegetable sizes consistent for even cooking.
Sterilized jars store well for 12-18 months in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 7 days. Always check for seal integrity before storage.
Absolutely! Reduce carrots and tomatoes which contain more natural sugars. Increase eggplant and peppers proportionally. Verify spice blends don't contain added sugars.
Cool completely, portion into airtight freezer bags (remove excess air), and freeze flat. Keeps 3-4 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator before reheating.
We don't recommend it for this recipe. Frozen vegetables release too much water during cooking, affecting texture. Fresh produce creates the ideal consistency.
Try as bruschetta topping, folded into omelets, mixed with grains like quinoa, or as a chunky pasta sauce. Great warm or at room temperature.
Omit hot peppers completely and use only sweet bell peppers. Reduce garlic by half if needed. Add fresh herbs like basil at serving time for flavor.
Salting removes bitterness from older eggplants. If using fresh, young eggplant, you can skip this step—just pat dry well to ensure proper browning.
