Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the eggplant, red bell pepper, and zucchini into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

  2. 2

    Soak the Sun Dried Tomatoes

    If using dry sun dried tomatoes, soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes until softened, then chop them into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced eggplant and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all vegetables are tender.

  3. 5

    Combine Flavorings

    Stir in the chopped sun dried tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 6

    Toast Pine Nuts

    In a separate small pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  5. 7

    Finish the Caponata

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted pine nuts and chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning as needed.
