1 (28 ounce) can peeled Italian tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped

EASY CAPONATA

Easy Caponata image

Caponata is a Sicilian dish with eggplant, zucchini, tomato, and peppers traditionally cooked in oil and vinegar and flavored with sugar, raisins, capers, olives, and pine nuts. It's tangy, sweet, crunchy, and salty all at the same time. Serve at room temperature as a side dish to grilled fish or as a starter on toasted bread. Store leftovers in fridge and reheat gently. It will taste even better the next day!

Ingredients

2 stalks stalk celery, chopped into 1/4-inch pieces
½ cup olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 medium eggplant, chopped into bite-size pieces
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
2 zucchini, cubed
1 ¾ cups tomato puree (passata)
½ cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
10 black olives, pitted
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 teaspoon capers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
10 leaves basil, chopped

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add celery and cook uncovered until softened, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat; add onion and celery and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add eggplant, red bell peppers, and zucchini and cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato puree, vinegar, and sugar. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add olives, raisins, pine nuts, and capers. Season with salt and pepper and cook until flavors are well combined, about 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat; stir in chopped basil. Cool and serve at room temperature.
