Here is a wonderful blog - food blogga blog....some really lovely recipes.

We must be thinking Eggplant! I was just looking for a capanata recipe. I may change to eggplant

chips! Thx for the link. Will be fun perusing.

 
If you do decide on Caponata here is the best recipe I've ever used

CAPONATA
makes 3 cups

1/4 cup olive oil
1 eggplant, cut into 1" cubes
1 chopped onion
1 lb tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
3/4 cup sliced celery
1 thinly sliced carrot
1 medium diced zucchini
1 pepper, cut into 1" squares
1/3 cup sliced stuffed green olives
1/4 cup minced parsley
3 tbsp red wine
2 tbsp minced basil
2 tbsp capers
1-1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 crushed garlic clove
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup lightly browned pine nuts

In a large pan, heat the oil and sauté the eggplant and onion until golden. Add the tomatoes, celery, carrots, zucchini, peppers, olives, parsley, red wine, basil, capers, tomato paste, garlic, salt, sugar and pepper. Cook, stirring, until it reaches a simmer. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover and cook until thickened. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve at room temperature. Keeps 3 weeks, refrigerated

 
I second that Cathy! It is truly a great recipe. I've made it many times, keeps well. Love it!

 
that looks like a good recipe to share at the farmers market

I like to give proper credit - is this your recipe? If not, do you remember where you got it?
