Inspired by beautiful produce in Provence during the height of summer, Rebekah Peppler’s eggplant confit is supple, creamy, and infused with tons of flavor. The technique is most associated with duck and other meats, but this recipe calls for eggplant slow-cooked in rich olive oil with garlic, anchovies, thyme, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve it as a side, on top of toast, or even with labneh! GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/3dKOkxT
