procedure

01.

start by preparing the vegetables. cut the eggplants, peppers, celery, and onion into even pieces.

02.

place the eggplants in a colander, sprinkle them with coarse salt and let them rest for about 30 minutes to remove any excess bitterness. then rinse and pat dry thoroughly. 

03.

in a pan, heat a drizzle of oil and lightly sauté the onion and celery. add the peeled tomatoes, crushing them with a fork, and cook for about 10 minutes.

04.

in a bowl, combine the sauce with all the vegetables (eggplants, peppers, onion, celery), the olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.

05.

transfer everything into a B!POD container and vacuum with DRO!D. let the vegetables rest under vacuum for 30 minutes.

06.

in the meantime, in a large pan, heat plenty of olive oil and fry the eggplant cubes until golden and crispy on the outside. drain on paper towels.

07.

once the vacuum marination is done, add the fried eggplants to the already marinated vegetables.

08.

cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that all the flavors blend together.

09.

let cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours. ideally, the caponata should rest overnight.

10.

serve cold or warm, garnished with fresh basil.
