EASY CAPONATA
Caponata is a Sicilian dish with eggplant, zucchini, tomato, and peppers traditionally cooked in oil and vinegar and flavored with sugar, raisins, capers, olives, and pine nuts. It's tangy, sweet, crunchy, and salty all at the same time. Serve at room temperature as a side dish to grilled fish or as a starter on toasted bread. Store leftovers in fridge and reheat gently. It will taste even better the next day!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add celery and cook uncovered until softened, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat; add onion and celery and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add eggplant, red bell peppers, and zucchini and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, vinegar, and sugar. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add olives, raisins, pine nuts, and capers. Season with salt and pepper and cook until flavors are well combined, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a large heavybased saucepan or casserole, place over a medium heat and add the aubergines. Cook for a good 15-20 mins until they are soft. Scoop the aubergines out of the pan - you should be left with some olive oil. Add the shallots and cook for about 5 mins until they are soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook slowly, so they break down and turn to a soft mush, then add the aubergines back to the pan. Now put in the capers, raisins, celery and vinegar, season well and cover with a lid. Cook over a low heat for 40 mins, until all the vegetables are soft. Stir gently so it doesn't break up too much; the stew should smell sweet and sour.
- When the caponata is cooked, leave to cool slightly while you make the bruschetta. Heat a griddle pan, drizzle the bread with olive oil and griddle until toasted and lightly charred on both sides, then rub with a garlic clove and season. Serve the warm caponata scattered with the basil leaves and pine nuts, with bruschetta on the side.

SMOKY EGGPLANT CAPONATA WITH TOASTED PINE NUTS

Steps:
- Prepare a hot fire (400°F) in a wood-fired oven or grill.
- Place the eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let drain over the sink or a bowl for 30 to 40 minutes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Pour 1/2 inch of olive oil into a large cast-iron skillet and heat it in the oven until hot enough to make a piece of eggplant sizzle. Add the eggplant and roast in the oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a bowl.
- In the same pan, heat the reserved olive oil from the toasted pine nuts and roast the onion until translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and add to the eggplant. Reheat the oil and sauté the celery for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and add to the eggplant mixture. Add the bell pepper, olives, capers, and sliced garlic to the eggplant mixture.
- Heat the tomatoes in the skillet in the oven until they come to a simmer, then add the vinegar, sugar, and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, add the toasted pine nuts, and add to the bowl of vegetables. Mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Let cool to room temperature and serve, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
