This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I always have a few extra eggplants in the fridge, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

I've made caponata many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of pine nuts and raisins gives it a really nice depth of flavor.
