Author Notes

This is similar to a basic Caponata recipe, mushrooms have been added and it's missing capers, pine nuts, and olives (which IMHO would also be great tasting). This makes a nice side dish. —Pete

Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large eggplant, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 3/4 cup onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (or balsamic or combination of both)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
Directions
  1. In a saute pan heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, add the eggplant, and saute until soft and browned, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon or wire basket, remove eggplant and and place in a bowl, keeping any remaining olive oil in the pan. In the same pan, add the final 1 tbsp olive oil to the remaining oil, and cook the onion, celery, peppers and mushrooms. Saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato sauce, vinegar, cooked eggplant, sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
