Directions
Caponata ‘ Eggplant and Lots of Good Things!, This I’ve been making for years and it ‘s never ever the same. This year used balsamic vinegar and sundried tomatoes which brings the basic caponata up to date with our changing tastes. This if your are not familiar with this appetizer relish dip or spread it ‘s salty, sweet, tangy has lots of texture from celery, eggplant, onions, garlic, olive, capers, and pine nuts. This is very complex! Serve it on fresh Italian sliced bread or crackers or as a relish on a sandwich. You can even toss it into a small pasta to make a pasta salad. Check out recipe #103124. In years gone buy I did can in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.I like to jar and give as gifts., Thank you, Rita! Apologizing for not rating your recipe for several years. Every time I see eggplant in the market, I do a mental calculation of how many bags of it I have in my freezer. You see, use it for a ‘cooking” sauce for fish filets and chicken breasts. It freezes well. I’ve also used it with pasta as a salad. Even when on a diet, I figured how to make this without olive oil and the results are nearly the same when baked on mild fish or chicken. Really jazzes up a dish. Many ears ago I found the canned commercial variety which is really more like an appetizer spread and loved it. This recipe is much looser than the canned variety and thus more versatle. Love you for posting this recipe., Oh sooo delicious! used 1/4 cup of basil it’s coming outta my ears & doubled the capers but left out the salt & sugar my balsamic vinegar is very thick & syrupy. I did also add a twist or two of coarsely ground black pepper. This stuff is great! I am packing up a 1/2 pint to include in a summer garden bounty package for a friend – I know she;ll love it. Thank you Rita, this one is a keeper!
