Today I want to start from a syllogism. The Sicilian caponata, the real, unique, original is just fried! The vegetables are fried individually, drained, joined, the pine nuts, raisins are added, a tight tomato sauce is prepared and finally the sweet and sour sauce, all the rest is not caponata.
Today I give you the recipe for preparing a real caponata without paying attention to calories, but with all the true taste of a Sicilian recipe.
Production time: 2 hours + 5 hours rest
Degree of difficulty (from 1 to 5): 2
Ingredientss
2 large aubergines
3 peppers
2 stalks of speed
1 potatoes
30 g of pine nuts
6 black olives if you like
50 g of soaked raisins
60 g of sweet and sour (30 g of red vinegar and 30 g of sugar)
qs of salt
½ stalk of speed
1 fresh onion
½ carrot
50 g of tomato sauce
20 g of extra virgin olive oil
Procedure to make the fried Sicilian Caponata
Clean the aubergines cut into chunks and fry seed oil with a pinch of salt in a large skillet, solar at the end of cooking in a colander to allow excess grease to escape. Cut the peppers into chunks and fry seed oil with a pinch of salt in a large skillet, solar at the end of cooking in a colander to allow excess grease to escape. Also fry the diced potato seed oil with a pinch of salt in a large skillet, solar at the end of cooking in a colander to let out the excess of grease. Finally fry the celery with the same procedure. Drain for a couple of hours.
