PEPERONCINI CHOPPED SALAD W/ ROMAINE, RED BELL PEPPER AND FETA

Steps:

• Put dried oregano and minced garlic in a small bowl and mash together with a fork or mortar. Add the white wine vinegar, Peperoncini juice and salt and pepper to taste and whisk together. Whisk in olive oil about 2 tablespoons at a time until dressing is well emulsified. Let dressing sit so flavors can blend while you prep other ingredients.
• Cut or tear romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and wash and dry. Make certain the leaves are dry. Cut stem end from each Peperoncini, squeeze out the seeds and discard and cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Cut red bell pepper in half, cut out seeds and pepper membranes, then slice the pepper into slices about 1/4 inch wide and a few inches long.
• Put the lettuce into a large salad bowl and toss with desired amount of dressing. Add Peperoncini strips, red bell pepper strips and crumbled Feta cheese and toss again. Season salad to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper and serve immediately.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND RED BELL PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a foil-lined baking sheet. Place bell peppers, cut-sides down, on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until beginning to char, about 45 minutes.
• While peppers roast, score eggplant flesh deeply in a diamond cross-hatch pattern with the tip of a knife. Press on the edges of the halves to open the cuts and sprinkle salt over the surface and into the cuts. Set aside, cut-sides up, for 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently squeeze the eggplant over the sink to extract the salty juice and wipe them dry with a paper towel. Brush each half with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange each half, cut-side down, on the lined baking sheet.
• Remove bell peppers from the oven and cover with a dish towel. Let stand for 5 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• Roast eggplant in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes. Peel, seed, and slice the peppers while eggplant is roasting.
• Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic, garlic, and chili sauce together in a separate bowl. Slice 4 artichoke hearts; reserve any remaining artichoke hearts for another use.
• Let eggplant cool for at least 20 minutes before handling. Turn flesh-side up. Use a kitchen knife to scrape the flesh from the skin. Divide the flesh along the score lines into cubes. Discard skin.
• Combine eggplant, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl. Sprinkle with pepper. Pour dressing over vegetables and mix together. Garnish with basil leaves.
