- 1 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 fresh red chile pepper, seeded and chopped
- 4 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- 1/4 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the eggplant in the butter until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool slightly.
