Packed with\u00a0Mediterranean vegetables\u00a0like eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and finished with olives, capers, and a touch of sweet sultanas, it\u2019s a savoury-sweet celebration of seasonal produce.

Here are a few quick tips to get the best results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggplant (Aubergine)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Choose firm, small-to-medium eggplants with shiny skin and no soft spots. These cook down beautifully without getting mushy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zucchini &amp; Celery<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 These add brightness and crunch. No need to peel, just chop and go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red Onion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Sweeter than yellow onions and perfect for saut\u00e9ing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Canned Tomatoes<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A pantry hero. Use chopped or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/44JQ5Xx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">crushed tomatoes<\/a>, or sub in fresh, ripe summer tomatoes when in season.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Greek Olives &amp; Capers<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Briny and bold, I use\u00a0<strong>Kalamata olives<\/strong>\u00a0for depth, but\u00a0<strong>green olives<\/strong>\u00a0(such as Castelvetrano) work just as well for a milder twist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sultanas (Golden Raisins)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A sweet contrast to the salty components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Basil or Parsley<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Stir in at the end for fresh, herbal balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Olive Oil, Vinegar &amp; Garlic<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Essential for flavour and richness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tip: You can roast the eggplant instead of frying it to reduce oil and create a firmer texture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Zutaten und Gem\u00fcse f\u00fcr Sizilianisches Schmorgem\u00fcse\" class=\"wp-image-97092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-216x324.jpg 216w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/ellerepublic.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Gemuese-Caponata-Rezept-1-of-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Caponata \u2013 Step-by-Step!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making&nbsp;<strong>caponata<\/strong>&nbsp;is easier than it looks.
