Stir in celery mixture, tomatoes, olives, capers, tomato paste, and oregano. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until caponata is thickened, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Put pasta water on to boil.
- In a large saute pan stir-fry eggplant and garlic in 4 tablespoons olive oil, until tender and a little brown.
- Put pasta in boiling water.
- Remove eggplant mixture from pan and set aside. Saute onion and pepper in remaining oil for 5 minutes. Add eggplant mixture and all other ingredients to onion and pepper, cover and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes.
- Toss hot, drained al dente pasta together with eggplant sauce, garnish with a sprig of fresh basil (and the toasted pine nuts, if using), and serve with grated parmesan cheese. Add additional vinegar, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- Serves 4.
- *Note: I think I prefer this made with only 8 ounces of pasta.

Steps:
- Trim the eggplants, cut them into 1-inch cubes, and transfer them to a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let them stand for 30 minutes. Rinse, drain well, and pat dry. In a bowl, combine the black olives, green olives, and capers. Cover with warm water and let them plump for 20 minutes. Drain well. In a saucepan of boiling water, blanch the celery for 1 to 2 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and pat dry. In a large skillet set over moderately high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until hot. Add the eggplant in small batches and cook it, stirring occasionally and adding 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to prevent sticking, until just tender and golden brown. Transfer the fried eggplant to a bowl and, adding oil and water as needed, fry the remaining eggplant. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and heat until hot over moderate heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, just until tender. Add the tomato sauce, 2 cups of water, the reserved eggplant, olives, capers, celery, and salt and pepper. Simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and vinegar, stirring until dissolved. Add the sugar mixture to the eggplant mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the caponatina to a bowl, let it cool to room temperature, and chill it, covered, for 1 to 2 days to allow the flavors to blend.
SICILIAN CAPONATA
Literally sweet and sour mediterranean vegetables. It's really important to sweat the initial stuff gently in a covered saucepan over a low heat for around 7-10 minutes. Also you do need to drain the tomatoes well and squeeze out most of the juice. It's vital you use good quality tinned tomatoes (ones from Italy are usually the best). This is deceptively tasty for such a simple dish, Absolutely fantastic with say grilled swordfish or BBQ lamb cutlets. Try this out it really is a magic recipe and one of those unbeatable combination of flavours from Italy.Keeps well refrigerated for a couple of days. Great for dinner parties as it go so well with meat or seafood, does not need heating and can be prepared well ahead of time. I've used it over the years in a number of restaurants where I've cooked.

CAPONATA

Steps:
- Pour the olive oil into a large heavybased saucepan or casserole, place over a medium heat and add the aubergines. Cook for a good 15-20 mins until they are soft. Scoop the aubergines out of the pan - you should be left with some olive oil. Add the shallots and cook for about 5 mins until they are soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes and cook slowly, so they break down and turn to a soft mush, then add the aubergines back to the pan. Now put in the capers, raisins, celery and vinegar, season well and cover with a lid. Cook over a low heat for 40 mins, until all the vegetables are soft. Stir gently so it doesn't break up too much; the stew should smell sweet and sour.
- When the caponata is cooked, leave to cool slightly while you make the bruschetta. Heat a griddle pan, drizzle the bread with olive oil and griddle until toasted and lightly charred on both sides, then rub with a garlic clove and season. Serve the warm caponata scattered with the basil leaves and pine nuts, with bruschetta on the side.

- In a large nonstick saute pan set over high heat, heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the olive oil. When the oil is very hot and glistening, fry half the eggplant cubes, tossing occasionally, until browned (about 7 minutes). Transfer to a large plate. Heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the remaining olive oil and fry the remaining eggplant cubes. Transfer to the plate with the first batch and reserve.
- Lower the heat to medium and heat the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil to the same pan. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook 3 minutes more. Add the tomato paste mixed in water and cook, stirring, until caramelized and almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and 1/4 cup (60 ml) water and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the olives, vinegar, raisins, capers, sugar, and cocoa powder and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes (add 1/4 cup / 60 ml more water if the mixture seems too dry). Incorporate the reserved fried eggplant and cook 5 minutes more, until the caponata is nice and thick. Transfer to a large bowl, add the basil and pine nuts and toss to combine. Taste the Sicilian caponata and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Let cool to room temperature then store in an airtight container in the fridge overnight et let the flavors fully develop.
- SERVING: Bring Sicilian caponata back to room temperature at least 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional pine nuts, chopped herbs, and a drizzle of your best extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
