Categories     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juice
2 zucchini, cut into 1-inch rounds
2 summer squash, cut into 1-inch rounds
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 large Japanese eggplant, cut into 1-inch rounds
1 red onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
1 potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 to 6 slices toasted sourdough bread, optional for main dish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the canned tomatoes into a 3 1/2-quart baking dish and spread to cover the bottom. In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients (excluding the bread). Toss to coat. Pour the vegetables over the canned tomatoes in an even layer. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the edges of the vegetables are golden, about 30 to 40 minutes. Serve alone as a side, or over toasted sourdough bread for a main dish.

This caponata is a delicious and versatile dish. I've enjoyed it as an appetizer, side dish, and main course. It's also a great way to use up leftover eggplant and bell peppers.

I made this caponata ahead of time and it tasted even better the next day. The flavors had a chance to meld together and the eggplant was even more tender.

This caponata is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sweet and tangy sauce makes the eggplant and bell peppers more palatable for picky eaters.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, but I didn't find them overpowering in this dish. The caponata is still very flavorful and enjoyable.

I love the way the capers and olives add a salty and briny flavor to this dish. It's a perfect balance to the sweetness of the eggplant and tomatoes.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this caponata changed my mind. The eggplant is cooked until it's soft and tender and the sauce is delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
