Prep Notes

When peeling your eggplant leave some of the purple skin on for color and variety.  It is also OK to not peel if the eggplant is young and fresh.
Cut fresh eggplant into 1/2 inch cubes or leave sliced like in the picture.
Dice fresh tomatoes.  If you are using plum tomatoes, you may only need to quarter.
