To the Spanish, the word caponata will sound more like a chicken name than an Italian recipe. The caponata is Vegetable stew typical of Sicilian cuisine and very similar to other Mediterranean cuisine how are the ratatouille or ratatouille. The difference is that the caponata contains a greater amount of eggplant and has pickles such as olives or capers, in addition to having a somewhat bittersweet flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3 small aubergines
  • 8 ripe pear tomatoes

  • fresh herbs parsley (parsley, basil, or oregano)
  • pepper
  • 1 dash of vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • oil and salt.

Preparation

  1. First of all, we prepare the vegetables. Dice the aubergine and put it on a strainer with a little salt to remove part of its bitterness. Peel and chop half of the tomatoes and grate or crush the rest. The celery is cut into thin slices, like the chives. The garlic, we chop them very well.

  2. In a saucepan with a good bottom of oil, sauté the aubergine (rinsed after letting it drain) again with salt and pepper. When it is tender and golden, we remove it.

  3. Now we put to sauté the spring onion with the celery and the garlic.

  4. When these vegetables are well sauteed, add the pickles.

  5. After a short time we add the chopped tomato, salt a little and let it reduce for a few minutes over moderate heat.

  6. When the vegetable stew has concentrated, add the aubergine, raisins and pine nuts, sugar and a splash of vinegar.

  7. Let cook over low heat so that the caponata acquires a honeyed texture. At the last moment we add the fresh herbs to taste.
