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.
