Caponata Alla Giudea Preparation
(Cladia Roden”s THE BOOK OF JEWISH FOOD) Cut the eggplants into 3/4 inch (2-cm) cubes. Sprinkle with salt and leave to drain in a colander for an hour. Fry the onion in 4 tablespoon oil until golden. Then add the garlic and when the aroma rises, add the tomatoes, celery, vinegar, and sugar (for the latter two ingredients, start with the lesser quantities and add more at the end to taste), salt and pepper, olives, and capers. Simmer about 15-20 minutes. Serve cold, garnished, if you like with quartered hard-boiled eggs. Notes from KPS: Claudia Roden”s recipe is quite similar to the recipe I developed by trial and error except that I add 2 tablespoons pine nuts to my recipe.
