CAPONATA
Caponata is a Sicilian sweet and sour version of ratatouille. Because eggplant absorbs flavors like a sponge, it's particularly good in such a pungent dish. Like most eggplant dishes, this gets better overnight. It's meant to be served at room temperature, and I like it cold as well. It makes a great topping for bruschetta.

Steps:
- Roast the eggplant, allow to cool and chop coarsely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet and add the onion and celery. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic. Cook together for a minute, until the garlic begins to smell fragrant, and add the peppers and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about 8 minutes. Add another tablespoon of oil and the eggplant, and stir together for another 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. The eggplant will fall apart, which is fine. Season to taste.
- Add the tomatoes to the pan with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of sugar. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan often, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat and they smell fragrant. Add the capers, olives, remaining sugar, and vinegar. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, for 20 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are thoroughly tender and the mixture is quite thick, sweet, and fragrant. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Allow to cool to room temperature. If possible, cover and chill overnight. Serve at room temperature.

SICILIAN CAPONATA
Literally sweet and sour mediterranean vegetables. It's really important to sweat the initial stuff gently in a covered saucepan over a low heat for around 7-10 minutes. Also you do need to drain the tomatoes well and squeeze out most of the juice. It's vital you use good quality tinned tomatoes (ones from Italy are usually the best). This is deceptively tasty for such a simple dish, Absolutely fantastic with say grilled swordfish or BBQ lamb cutlets. Try this out it really is a magic recipe and one of those unbeatable combination of flavours from Italy.Keeps well refrigerated for a couple of days. Great for dinner parties as it go so well with meat or seafood, does not need heating and can be prepared well ahead of time. I've used it over the years in a number of restaurants where I've cooked.
