This is easy to make, I use the cuisinart to do all of the chopping.
It is easy to make, makes a minimal mess (cuisinart and a pan are all that
get messed up) and can also be frozen for later consumption. It has about 90
calories per serving and less than a gram of fat (even with the olives which
add a great taste sensation):

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 whole red onion -- chopped fine
1 whole green pepper -- chopped fine
1 whole red pepper -- chopped fine
4 whole celery stalk -- chopped fine
1 whole eggplant -- chopped fine (I don't peel, just scrub
skin - adds extra fiber!)
2 whole tomatoes -- chopped coarsley
1/4 cup stuffed green olive -- chopped coarsley (I get the
very small ones, and leave ours whole so my husband can
pick them out easily)
2 tablespoons capers -- drained
1/2 cup raisins
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup water
Saute onion, peppers and celery in a large nonstick skillet until soft, about
5 minutes. Add eggplant, and saute another 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives,
capers, raisins, red wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper, and water. Cook
for 20 minutes or until all vegetables are done. Taste and adjust
seasonings. You might need more salt than called for, I just use as little
as possible. Serve over cooked cabbage or pasta. Freezes well.
