Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat grill or broiler. Combine ¼ teaspoon of the salt, ½ teaspoon of the pepper and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the balsamic vinegar. Brush both sides of the eggplant with the vinaigrette. Slowly grill or broil the eggplant until tender, about 5 minutes per side. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat remaining olive oil in a large saute pan. Add onion and cook over medium-low heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Add peppers, cover and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, oregano and remaining salt and pepper. Cook until mixture thickens slightly, 15 to 20 more minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the eggplant slices among 4 plates. Spoon equal amounts of peperonata on top of the eggplant. Garnish with fresh thyme.
