FOOD:

Caro’s Recipe: Caponata Di Melanzane

Serves 8 to 10

1 kilo eggplants, peeled and cut into 2.5cm cubes Oil, for frying

1 large onion, sliced lengthwise

60 ml olive oil

60 ml wine vinegar

375 ml tomato sauce, plus more if necessary

1 bunch celery, tough outer ribs discarded, strings removed and coarsely sliced, then poached

180 grams green olives, pitted and cut into thirds

40 grams capers, rinsed and drained

1 tsp sugar, plus more to taste

Hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved, for garnish Chopped parsley for garnish

Method

Heat 1 inch of oil in a large sauté pan.

Fry the eggplant pieces, a batch at a time, until browned.

Drain well on paper towels.

Season with salt.

Sauté the onion in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, until just golden.

Add the celery, olives, capers, tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, and salt to taste.

Gently stir in the eggplant, being careful not to break it up.

Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl or platter and cool.

Pile the caponata in a pyramid and surround it with hard-boiled eggs.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve cold or at room temperature.

This is even better if made a day before.
