CAPONATA (COLD EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) APPETIZER)
I searched the Caponata recipes on Zaar and did not find any with pine nuts and I think the pine nuts really make this Caponata an outstanding recipe. Though the recipe looks complicated it comes together fairly quickly and once all the flavors blend it is just great as a hot summer night dinner with crusty bread and perhaps a tomato salad.

- 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.

- 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.
