Caponata
Ingredients
1 Courgette, diced, skin on
1 Large Aubergine, diced, skin on
2 Red Onions, diced small
10 Cherry Tomatoes, quartered
50g Pine Nuts
50g Raisins
50ml Red Wine Vinegar
20g Sugar
Fresh Basil and Parsley
1 Large Red Chilli, sliced finely
150ml Passata
METHOD
First, roast the aubergine pieces in an oven with plenty of olive oil until they turn dark brown and the moisture has been cooked out.
Now sweat the onions, nuts, chilli and raisins in lots of olive oil, salt, and pepper until soft.
Now add the courgettes and tomatoes and increase the heat. After five minutes add the passata and cook this until it is mainly reduced.
Now finish with the roughly chopped herbs and aubergine.
This is also excellent the following day in toast!
