Steps:
- Heat a wide saute pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the zucchini and let caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add the capers, raisins, basil and thyme. Deglaze with the vinegar. Add the pureed yellow tomato. Cook over high heat until everything is coated and mixed together, about 3 minutes. Season with sugar and some salt and pepper.
- Bring neutral oil to 375 degrees F in a deep-fryer. (See Cook's Note.) Place pine nuts in a mesh strainer, then lower them carefully into the oil and let fry until golden. Lift back out to a paper towel-lined tray and season lightly with salt.
- Put zucchini caponata into a bowl. Sprinkle pine nuts and Olive Dirt on top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and basil buds.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pulse olives, panko, flour, butter, cocoa powder and some salt in a food processor until it resembles wet dirt. Spread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and toast in the oven, 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then pulse again in food processor.

[email protected]I accidentally added too much salt to the caponata. It was still edible, but it would have been better if I had been more careful.
