Directions
Caponata from Loni Kuhn’s S f Cooking Class, This is the potluck/picnic dish people demand I make late summer You don’t need to like eggplant to love this! Amazingly, it is served at room temperature, and keeps for 3 weeks in the refrigerator I have been carrying this recipe with me since 1977 from the May issue of Bon Appetit, and each time I move, the panic doesn’t leave until I locate this recipe again! Rita posted a canning version of this recipe, if you want to enjoy this year-round: Recipe #462221 #462221 , Wonderful flavor! I made this exactly like the directions I added all the optional ingredients The next time I make it I will decrease the sugar a little and add additional garlic I initially served it warm on toasted bagel crackers! It was delicious I’ve had it since then cold and the flavor seems to be even better after being refrigerated overnight One word of caution from my mistake is not to overlook the eggplant or it will fall apart easily I was concerned it would stay crunchy so I cooked it a bit too long before adding the other ingredients Will absolutely make this again! It’s healthy and delicious!
