posted on 04/17/2010 "I made this up, but it is based on pretty fundamental technique. Mint and eggplant are a classic too. Tips The sauces can vary - roasted chile sauce can be subbed with chile flakes, heated till slightly browned before adding the eggplant. Sweet chile sauce, can just be sugar, and a little vinegar. Sweet soy sauce, fresh squeezed lime juice, cilantro, basil, etc. can all make this dish interesting. "

posted on 08/17/2010 "I adapted this recipe to my own version. It's a relatively small recipe and for a party you will likely need to at least double it."
posted on 09/28/2010 "I made up this recipe for these to make a 'safe' version of oil cured tomatoes. The vinegar acidifies the tomatoes to prevent botulism. But it also adds a bright flavor. Commercial versions often use citric acid or vinegar too. They are wonderful and I think better than 'regular' sun-dried tomatoes. And OK, I do not dry them in the sun. You could if you have a dry sunny climate. I do, but the nights are too cool right now. Tips I made my own dried garlic for this one. If fresh garlic is used, crush it and add along with vinegar solution when re-hydrating tomatoes to acidify it for safety."
