Broiled Eggplant with Capers and Mint
Adapted from Epicurious
Makes 4 appetizer-size portions
1 pound thin Italian or Asian eggplants (2 to 3), cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped mint
2 tablespoons small capers, rinsed
Preheat broiler. Arrange eggplant in 1 layer on a large baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons oil (total). Broil about 4 inches from heat, turning once, until golden, 8 to 12 minutes total.
Stir together vinegar, mint, capers, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil and toss with warm eggplant. Marinate at least 20 minutes.

Market News
Hello!
Happy Labor Day! We hope you are able to enjoy an extended weekend with family, friends, rest and play!
At the end of this long summer season, we are so grateful for all the support you have shown Fresh Harvest! Your smiles, appreciation, patience and good cheer help us get through many a long hot day. We love to share our produce with you. We are sure we speak for all of our small family farms, producers, and businesses when we say “We couldn’t do it without you!”
We have a great selection of vegetables this week! After the lull of last week, we are pleased that the third round of tomatoes are in, as well as lots of great end-of-summer eggplant and peppers! Also lots of good greens on the Market to mark the changing seasons, as well as winter squash !
Please remember we will reuse any of the plastic bags we pack your produce in. We appreciate the opportunity to reuse them, so please bring them back to us rather than toss them – as long as they are in good condition! Same goes for the pint containers and any egg cartons we give you!
Thank you so much for all your support!See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
