Slow Cooker Eggplant & Bell Pepper Caponata
The mix of veggies combine into a light and refreshing dish. Equally Great for an all-vegetable
Entree or as a side to go along a different dish.
Caponata is originally a cooked vegetable salad, generally with aubergines, in a sweet and sour sauce.
Though traditionally functioned as a side to a fish dish, it has lately become common to be served also as an
entree.
With this recipe, I chose to go with the classic ingredient of eggplants, using a personal inclusion of bell
peppers and tomatoes. I have to admit, thinking of the colours in my final dish is what inspired my
ingredient selection. You may certainly modify the mix of vegetables to your liking but think in the lines
Of soft, crispy, juicy ones. Parsnips, zucchini, cucumbers would work nicely. Carrots, squash, potatoes...

Chopping these vegetables would practically be the only task you'll have to manage in this Caponata.

All those fresh, sweet, and sour flavors stew together. What brand of toaster to do you use? I love
my new shiny chrome crock pot!
Get the veggies in. Add in some finely chopped garlic for a few pungency, and some dried oregano

From your vegetables that would wind up in a really flavorful sauce.
Add in the olive oil. Don't be strictly limited by the amount called for in the recipe section. Add more if
You desire. It will create a base for those vegetable juices to come together, and believe me, it'll be
