Steps:
- For the caponata: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and artichoke hearts and cook until soft and the artichokes are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and raisins to the pan. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and capers and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the halibut: Place a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (If not using a nonstick grill pan, lightly oil the pan before grilling the fish. The halibut can also be roasted for 10 to 12 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degrees F oven.)
- Drizzle the halibut on both sides with olive oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Arrange the halibut on a serving platter and top with the caponata. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
ARTICHOKE DIP (CAPONATA)
I was very pleased to adopt this recipe as a homeless Recipezaar orphan; as it is something I have been making for a few years now. I first encountered it in a gift basket from our local Italian gourmet shop. With only four ingredients, it was easily reconstructed. Proportions of all the ingredients can be varied according to your taste; but be sure to use genuine Parmigiano-Reggiano only.

ARTICHOKE AND FENNEL CAPONATA
Caponata is usually made with eggplant and green peppers. My husband hates eggplant, and I can't eat peppers, so when I found this recipe, I was pretty happy. It's really good, and goes will spooned over toasted baguette slices.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender artichokes. Look for artichokes with tightly closed leaves and no blemishes. Avoid artichokes that are brown or have wilted leaves.
- Trim the artichokes properly. Cut off the stem and the top inch of the artichoke. Then, use a sharp knife to remove the tough outer leaves, working your way down to the tender, pale green leaves.
- Cook the artichokes until they are tender. You can boil, steam, or roast artichokes. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but the artichokes should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to artichokes, caponata can be made with a variety of other vegetables, such as eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of vegetables to create your own unique caponata.
- Use good-quality olive oil. Olive oil is an essential ingredient in caponata, so be sure to use a good-quality oil that has a fruity flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
- Simmer the caponata until the flavors have melded. Caponata should be simmered for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for longer if you want the flavors to develop even more.
Conclusion:
Caponata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables, and it is also a good dish to make ahead of time. Caponata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or it can be frozen for up to 3 months.
