Steps:
- Toss eggplant with salt and place in a colander set over a bowl. Let sit, about 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet. Add eggplant and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in celery mixture, tomatoes, olives, capers, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until caponata is thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Season caponata with vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, toss the eggplant generously with olive oil and salt, to taste. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast until the eggplant is soft and mushy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve.
- Coat a wide deep pot with olive oil. Toss in the onion and crushed red pepper and season with salt, to taste. Cook over medium-high heat until the onions are soft and aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the fennel, celery and garlic and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the peppers and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes. Add the zucchini, season with salt, to taste, and cook until the zucchini and all the veggies are soft and aromatic and starting to come together as a stew, about 5 to 6 minutes. Toss in the eggplant, 1/2 cup of water and the tomato paste. Cook until the water has evaporated. Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar in a small bowl and add it to the mixture. Stir in the raisins, capers, pine nuts and mint. Cook for another 5 to 6 minutes.
- Let cool and transfer the caponata to a serving bowl. Serve immediately or even better tomorrow or the next day.
SICILIAN CAPONATA
Caponata can be served on bruschetta or with salad leaves, and it's also perfect as a side with roasted chicken, pork or beef. The sweet and sour nature of caponata lends itself to other vegetables: use fennel, artichoke or zucchini instead of the eggplant, or a combination of any of them.

Steps:
- Sprinkle eggplant with salt and leave for 20 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse off the juices. Dry with paper towel. Pour enough olive oil in a frying pan to reach 2cm up the sides. When it is hot and just about to start smoking, add eggplant and fry until coloured and soft (about 5 minutes) - you can do this in two batches. Drain eggplant on paper towel. Drain oil from the pan and add 3 tbsp of fresh extra virgin olive oil. Add onion and garlic and cook over medium heat until soft, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add celery and cook for a further 5 minutes. Return eggplant to pan then add capers and olives and toss together. Pour in the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and basil. Cook over low heat for 8 minutes. Caponata can be served straight away or refrigerated to allow the flavours to combine further. Photography by William Meppem. Styling by Hannah Meppem. Food preparation by Dominic Smith.
CAPONATA
The levels of sweet and sour in caponata vary from household to household. In this version, the onions and celery are caramelized for incredible depth of flavor-which improves over time.

Steps:
- Peel eggplants, leaving some strips of peel, then cut into 1-inch cubes and spread on half of a kitchen towel. Sprinkle eggplant with salt, then cover with other half of towel and weight with a baking sheet topped with 2 or 3 large cans for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onion, stirring, until pale golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add celery and cook, stirring, until onion and celery are deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add olives, capers, and 2 tablespoons sugar and cook, stirring, 2 minutes, then stir in vinegar and tomatoes.
- Reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. If sauce is very acidic, add 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (to taste). Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, covered.
- Rinse eggplant in a colander under running water, then squeeze dry in small handfuls.
- Heat remaining cup oil in cleaned skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry eggplant in 2 batches, turning occasionally with tongs, until tender and browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer as cooked to paper towels to drain, then transfer to a large shallow serving dish in an even layer. Spoon sauce on top, spreading evenly, and let stand, covered with a kitchen towel, at room temperature, at least 8 hours (for flavors to develop). Stir before serving.

Steps:
- Put pasta water on to boil.
- In a large saute pan stir-fry eggplant and garlic in 4 tablespoons olive oil, until tender and a little brown.

Steps:
- Trim the eggplants, cut them into 1-inch cubes, and transfer them to a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them stand for 30 minutes. Rinse, drain well, and pat dry. In a bowl, combine the black olives, green olives, and capers. Cover with warm water and let them plump for 20 minutes. Drain well. In a saucepan of boiling water, blanch the celery for 1 to 2 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and pat dry. In a large skillet set over moderately high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until hot. Add the eggplant in small batches and cook it, stirring occasionally and adding 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to prevent sticking, until just tender and golden brown. Transfer the fried eggplant to a bowl and, adding oil and water as needed, fry the remaining eggplant. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and heat until hot over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender. Add the tomato sauce, 2 cups of water, the reserved eggplant, olives, capers, celery, and salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and vinegar, stirring until dissolved. Add the sugar mixture to the eggplant mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the caponatina to a bowl, let it cool to room temperature, and chill it, covered, for 1 to 2 days to allow the flavors to blend.

- Partially peal the aubergines (eggplant) using a potato peeler, leaving some of the skin on. This will speed up the cooking process but retaining the shape and texture. Then cut into cubes of roughly 2 cm.
- Pour the oil in a frying pan (skillet), heat it up and carefully place the cubed aubergines inside. Season slightly with salt. Cook steering occasionally for 10 minutes.
- By now the aubergines should start to soften and colour, add the chopped onions and cook for a further 5 minutes.

- Preheat the grill (broiler) to medium-high. Cut the aubergines into 1-1½ cm (½-¾ inch) cubes and place them in a bowl. Toss with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and then spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet in as close to a single layer as possible.
- Cook the aubergine pieces under the grill (broiler) for five minutes, stir and spread out again. Grill (broil) for a further five minutes. Stir once more and grill (broil) for a final five minutes. The aubergine cubes should be cooked and browned. Set aside.
- While the aubergines are grilling (broiling) prepare the rest of the ingredients. Finely dice the celery. Peel and finely chop the carrot and onion. Peel and crush the garlic.
- Place the tomatoes in a large jug or bowl and cover with boiling water. After 2-3 minutes, fish them out and the skins should easily peel off. Roughly chop the flesh and set aside. Cut the olive in half lengthways.

- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the eggplant from sticking to it.
- Place the cubed eggplant on the prepared pan. Sprinkle it with ¼ teaspoon of the salt, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, and promptly toss to coat (some of the eggplant pieces will be more saturated with oil than the others, and that’s ok). Roast the eggplant in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway, until deeply golden.
- In the meantime, warm the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and about 10 twists of black pepper. Cook until the onions are tender and just starting to turn golden, about 9 to 12 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the olives, raisins, vinegar, capers, honey, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf. Stir to combine. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.

- In a large nonstick saute pan set over high heat, heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the olive oil. When the oil is very hot and glistening, fry half the eggplant cubes, tossing occasionally, until browned (about 7 minutes). Transfer to a large plate. Heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the remaining olive oil and fry the remaining eggplant cubes. Transfer to the plate with the first batch and reserve.
- Lower the heat to medium and heat the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil to the same pan. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook 3 minutes more. Add the tomato paste mixed in water and cook, stirring, until caramelized and almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and 1/4 cup (60 ml) water and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the olives, vinegar, raisins, capers, sugar, and cocoa powder and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes (add 1/4 cup / 60 ml more water if the mixture seems too dry). Incorporate the reserved fried eggplant and cook 5 minutes more, until the caponata is nice and thick. Transfer to a large bowl, add the basil and pine nuts and toss to combine. Taste the Sicilian caponata and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Let cool to room temperature then store in an airtight container in the fridge overnight et let the flavors fully develop.
- SERVING: Bring Sicilian caponata back to room temperature at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional pine nuts, chopped herbs, and a drizzle of your best extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.

- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the eggplant cubes with salt (if you have the time, set it aside in a colander to sweat out its bitterness for about 20 or 30 minutes, while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Pat dry with paper towel).
- Place the seasoned eggplant cubes on a sheet pan, add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons or so) and toss to coat. Roast the eggplant in the heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, bell pepper, and celery. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, tossing regularly until softened.
- Add the tomatoes, capers, olives, raisins, honey, bay leaf and crushed pepper flakes. Pour in the vinegar and white wine. Stir to combine. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

- Slice eggplants into 1 inch thick slices. Layer the slices on a paper towel in a colander and sprinkle each layer liberally with a total of 2 TB of the salt. Weight down with a plate and let sit for 30-60 minutes on. This process will help remove the moisture and bitterness from the eggplants. When ready, wipe each slice with paper towels to remove the salt. Do not rinse. You will notice that the salt was pulled away with the excess liquid. Dice the eggplant into 1 inch cubes, skin on.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and fry, tossing occasionally, until browned, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggplant to paper towel to drain; set aside. If needed fry in batches.
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add onions, red pepper flakes and celery, and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, 10 minutes. Don't overcook celery. Reduce heat to medium, and add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until caramelized and almost evaporated, 1–2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes, raisins and vinegar and continue cooking for 10 minutes or until thickened. Take off the heat and let cool slightly.
- Place cooled celery/tomato mixture In a glass bowl. Add browned eggplant, olives, capers, basil and parsley. Mix well. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
