Caponata
The classic Sicilian stewed vegetable dish.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines - diced and salted for 20 minutes - then rinsed well
- 1 medium onion - medium chopped
- 3 gloves garlic - roughly chopped
- 1 red pepper - sliced
- 1 orange pepper - sliced
- 1 tin tomatos
- 1 tbs white wine vinegar
- 1 tbs sugar
- 1 tbs capers
- 1 tbs toasted pinenuts
- glug olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fry the aubergine until it has reduced by about 2/3rds. This will take about 20 minutes, as aubergine soaks up oil like a sponge use a good non stick pan and keep it moving, when ready it should look like the photo.
- Meanwhile fry the onion and garlic until soft, add the pepper and cook for a few more minutes, add the tomatos, charred aubergine, white wine vinegar, sugar and capers. Cook for about 5 minutes. Stir through the toasted pinenuts just before serving.
- Serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices. This also tastes far better reheated the next day.
