Caponata (V, G)

After an invigorating holiday in Puglia with old friends and loads of Italian delicacies and tasty local wine it feels strange to come home to our silent, grey and cold island. I'm still mentally in Italy, so an Italian colourful recipe seems appropriate.
A few years ago I was served my first caponata in a Sicilian restaurant. I made such a fuss about how delicious it was that the chef gave me a glass jar of his caponata to take home with me. I didn't get his recipe and I didn't have a try at making it until this summer. But when we got our first home-grown aubergines and after we were served caponata at a luncheon, I wanted to make my own. There are different versions of this Sicilian caponata; sometimes with raisins in it, but as I am not a friend of raisins in savoury food I left them out. So did unicornsinthekitchen.com , whose recipe I followed.
