  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes (such as Hunt's®)

  • 1.5 tablespoons capers
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions:
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute eggplant, onion, and garlic in olive oil until lightly browned, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, red wine, and capers, then simmer until heated through for about 5 minutes.
