Caponata Di Patate Potato Caponata Recipe 435

Steps:

• Heat 2 large nonstick pans over high heat. Divide the olive oil between the 2 pans, when the oil is hot add the vegetables all together and season with gray salt and pepper, to taste, and chili flakes. Saute all of the vegetables together for about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the pine nuts and orange zest and continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until all of the vegetables are soft and the flavors are well infused.
• Meanwhile in a small saute pan combine the vinegar with the sugar and the raisins, bring to a boil and reduce until slightly syrupy. When the vegetables are cooked and still hot combine with the vinegar syrup and the basil, taste for salt and pepper and serve hot as a side dish.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, cover raisins with hot water and set aside to plump. Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Use a hot oil or candy thermometer to determine when it reaches frying temperature, 360 degrees. Working in batches, fry potatoes until golden and crisp at edges, about 15 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a colander to drain. Take care to maintain an even frying temperature from batch to batch. Reserve oil for cooking onions. If pan is dry, add a couple more tablespoons oil. Decrease heat to low and sauté onions, stirring frequently, until very soft, 15-20 minutes. (Be careful not to let onions brown.) Add celery and cook until just slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in capers. Drain raisins and add to pan along with toasted nuts and olives. Stir in fried potatoes and tomato sauce until potatoes are lightly coated. Add a few more tablespoons tomato sauce if needed to coat potatoes. Add oregano and season generously with black pepper. Taste and add salt as needed. Transfer caponata to a serving bowl and let cool to room temperature, ideally allowing it to rest a couple of hours to let flavors meld. Just before serving, top with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Boil the potato slices for 10 mins, then drain, tip into a bowl (don't worry if they break up a little) and add the milk and half the cheese. Mix together.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion until softened. Spoon in the balsamic vinegar and bouillon powder, then stir in the tomatoes, aubergine, peppers, basil and garlic. Cover and cook for 20 mins, stirring frequently and adding a little water if necessary, until the aubergine is tender when tested with a knife.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the olives, capers and parsley. Tip into two shallow baking dishes. Cover with the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• If you are following our Healthy Diet Plan, grill the one you are eating now until golden. While it's grilling, steam or boil half the broccoli to serve with the bake. To reheat on the second day, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 30-40 mins until bubbling and golden. Cook the remaining broccoli to serve with it.
