Ingredients
- 2 small eggplant (1/3 inch diced (12 ounces))
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 carrots (peeled and diced)
- 1 zucchini (diced)
- 1 yellow pepper (diced)
- 1 red onion (diced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 2 tablespoons capers (drained)
- 1/3 cup black pitted olives (such as kalamata, halved)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
- In a colander toss the diced eggplant with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Allow the eggplant to sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the eggplant and dry well in a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat an additional 30 seconds. To the hot pan add the dried eggplant. Cook stirring often until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the carrots, zucchini, yellow pepper and red onion. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often until the vegetables are beginning to soften and brown in a few spots, about 10 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes, capers, olives, oregano and red pepper flakes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium cook stirring often to let the flavors mingle, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar.
