Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grilling 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons golden raisins 2 tablespoons pine nuts 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes 1/2 cup tomato paste 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more if needed 1 small eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/3 cup white-wine vinegar Coarse salt 8 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices baguette Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

In a 5-quart Dutch oven or pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, raisins, pine nuts, garlic, and red-pepper flakes; cook stirring occasionally, until onion has softened, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add tomato paste, cocoa powder, and sugar; cook, stirring, until tomato paste is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggplant, vinegar, and 1/3 cup water.

Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplant is tender and mixture is thick, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and more sugar (up to 1 tablespoon), as desired.

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides bread with olive oil. Grill, turning once, until toasted and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.

Top grilled bread with caponata; garnish with basil leaves. Caponata can be refrigerated up to 5 days in an airtight container; let cool completely before storing.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/17/2018   This is one of my favorite ways to serve my purple friend! I use eggplant in so many dishes it has a separate space in my recipe file! One dish I always order at my fave Chinese joint I have never been able to copy at home as there is one secrete ingredient they will not tell me..."After you come for 20 years we will tell you!" I have been a regular for 12 years....Hmmmm!raf  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       08/12/2014   I've made this recipe a number of times for different events and it has been an absolute hit each and every time. The dish is easy to make and absolutely delicious, also different from the typical appetizer fare.

Whether by trauma or excessive use caused one of the biggest risk factors is the sneakers type of protection.
