Nothing new or fancy here. It is one of the good simple old dishes.
There are many different Caponata recipes. This one is from Io e il mio Bimby. It would be great to accompany with chicken - meat dishes.


Caponata:

Ingredients:

90g onion, quartered
40g extra virgin olive oil
350g potatoes, cut into mid sized pieces
150g yellow or red pepper, cut into mid sized pieces
350g eggplants, cut into mid sized pieces
150g zucchini, cut into mid sized pieces
200g canned tomatoes (peeled or diced)
Salt, black pepper
10-12 basil leaves



Preparation:

    * Chop onion for 5 seconds on Speed 5
    * Except for basil, put all the ingredients in TM Bowl and cook for 15 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Reverse / Speed 1. (Add basil leaves when there is 1 minute left to finish cooking)
    * Let it rest a couple of minutes in TM Bowl before you serve


Buon Appetito

Thanks farfallina - there are so many variations of caponata. It is one of those dishes that I really like, but MrsT doesn't The same with ratatouille.

Watched a program on Foxtel yesterday where Giada De Laurentiis, the Italian lass, was making picnic food.  She cut a bread stick in half horizontally, hollowed out the bottom half and filled it with caponata, topped it with slices of provolone cheese, put the top back on and toasted/squashed it in a sandwich maker. Obviously it would have been cold by the time they got to their picnic but it looked very nice.

I like it lukewarm. Great idea.

I never tried it as sandwich filling
I love provolone cheese though. I might try someday
