    Caponata Salad

    Written by Living the Gourmet, a trusted food and lifestyle site since 2008.

    I am the child of yesterday
    Looking for the warmth of the sun 
    Longing for the tenderness of the breeze
    Listening for the footsteps
    I am waiting patiently; waiting

    Catherine

    Ingredients:
    2 eggplants - peeled and cubed
    2 stalks celery - chopped
    4 cloves garlic - chopped
    5 red bell peppers - roasted and sliced (seeds removed)
    1 large onion - sliced
    2 tablespoons - capers plus 2 tablespoons caper juice
    3 tablespoons olives - your choice (pitted)
    ¼ cup raisins
    ½ jalapeño - chopped with seeds
    1 tsp. salt
    ½ tsp. black pepper
    ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
    ½ tsp. dried oregano
    4 tablespoons olive oil
    ¼ cup vinegar plus ½ tsp. salt and 1 tablespoon sugar
    Heat a large frying pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil.  Add the cubed eggplant and sauté until slightly golden.  Add the onion, celery, jalapeño and garlic and continue to sauté until softened. 
    Add the sliced peppers, raisins, capers, olives and toss.
    Add the seasonings.  Combine the vinegar with the salt and sugar and stir.  Add this to the pan and toss.
    Turn off the heat; drizzle with a little extra olive oil and let cool a bit before serving.
    Enjoy with Love,
    Catherine
