How to Prepare Eggplant and Bell Pepper Caponata [Vegan]

  1. Heat about 1/2 of the olive oil (to start) in a large pot. Add your eggplant and onion. Cook for about 10 minutes uncovered. You want your eggplant to release the moisture and begin to brown. Stir as needed.
  2. Add in all of your bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, raisins (if using), and capers. Stir to combine and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and stir, then cook uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until all vegetables are tender. This step might take longer.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh herbs. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve hot, room temperature, or cold.
