- 3 large eggplants (about 1 1/2 pounds each), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 3 red bell peppers
- 9 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Sheets of matzoh, for serving
- In several large colanders set over bowls, toss eggplant cubes with salt. Let stand 1 hour to drain.
- Meanwhile, using tongs or long-handled fork, hold peppers over open flame, turning until blackened on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, on rack of broiler pan under preheated broiler about 2 inches from heat, broil peppers, turning every 5 minutes, until skins are blistered and charred, 15 to 25 minutes.) Transfer to large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let stand 15 minutes. Peel, seed, and dice.
- Rinse eggplant under cold water and blot dry with paper towels. In large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking. Working in 3 batches and using 3 tablespoons oil for each batch, sauté eggplant and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Transfer eggplant and garlic to large bowl. Add peppers, dill, vinegar, and sugar and toss to combine. Chill overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature, accompanied by matzoh.
