11. Caponata
Recipe Summary:
Preparation time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Number of Servings: 10
Cups of Fruits and Vegetables per Person: 0.5
Ingredients:
3 sprays cooking spray
3 Tbsp sugar
Directions:
In a large non-reactive pan, add 1 spray of cooking spray. Add the onions and saut on medium heat,
stirring often, until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers and celery and saut,
stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Add the garlic and cook until
fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Tie the thyme sprigs and parsley together with kitchen twine. Add the tomatoes and the herb bundle to
the pan and cover with a lid. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 15
minutes.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 2 sprays of cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the
eggplant, and season with pepper. Cook until lightly brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the
sauted eggplant to the tomato mixture. Cover and cook 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely.
Remove the vegetables from the heat and discard the herb bundle. Stir in the vinegar mixture, olives,
and capers. Adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature, as
an hors d'eouvres or as a topping for pasta, chicken or fish.
