Honey Tips
Honey Is Magic
In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.
Directions
Place the eggplant in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the butter melts. Sauté garlic and onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the eggplant and mushrooms.
Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, honey and oregano and cook 10 minutes more.
Stir in vinegar. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool and then refrigerate a minimum of 1 hour. Serve cold, dusted with Parmesan, if desired.
