Caponata Panzanella
I understand, more panzanella! I had the concept for this in my mind recently and might not let it go, could not let it wait till next summer season. Caponata is this irresistibly rustic Sicilian eggplant and tomato stew/condiment that comes together with some small rough slicing and simmering. It draws out the meatiness of the eggplant to the point of severe questioning in some cases. There are fantastic salted bits, prepared out summer-tomato juices, a scatter of parsley leaves that have actually hardly been grazed by the knife. Sweet, sour, salted– ideal on any and all toasts once it’s cooled. I believed I might cut to the chase and simply toss the toast part right therein, blend it up genuine easy with another dosage of olive oil, bursts of fresh tomato and a lot more grassy, peppery parsley. That believed was appropriate!
There is a pre-fall cool blowing through town, so I didn’t mind turning the oven on to make the croutons while I drank some tea and hung out by the range. I wore a sweatshirt on my early morning run today and admired the speed of the clouds wandering on by while the whoooosh in my ears never ever ended. I have prepare for soups, cookies and roasted summer season squash next week. The puppy shivers a bit when we attempt to take pleasure in a little coffee/tea break outdoors and needs cuddling. Tuck the idea of this hearty salad into your back pocket for September if it’s still warm where you are. So easy, fantastic and gently warming. Doubling the caponata for other uses/eating directly from the pan still-warm is a great concept too.
So with that, I’m simply going to keep it brief today. This is my preferred season, this micro/in-between season of intense, cool and dry days. Possibly a little summery thunderstorm occasionally. It tends to make me a touch emotional while providing a clear focus for what’s ahead at the very same time. Restored function, eyes as much as the moon, imagination and motivation is all over you might discover it. It’s a generous time in my corner of the world. Hope you’re all covering yourselves up in it too:-RRB- xo

NOTES: It’s quite essential to prepare the eggplant till it’s really tender, like a strong 15 minute simmer. Likewise, there’s a great deal of salted bits in the caponata so possibly taste the ended up item prior to you season the entire thing.
caponata components:
huge glug of olive oil
1 big eggplant, sliced into huge pieces
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 little red onion, little dice
1 clove of garlic, rough sliced
huge splash of red white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon capers
handful of green olives, pitted + rough sliced
2-ish cups diced fresh tomatoes
salt and pepper
handful of sliced flat leaf parsley
panzanella components:
4 cups destroyed bread pieces
olive oil
salt + pepper
handful of little tomatoes, cut in half
more sliced parsley
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a big baking sheet with parchment and reserved.
Heat the olive oil in a big, heavy pot over medium heat. Include the pieces of eggplant and oregano. Stir the pieces around to coat them in the oil and herb. Stir the pot occasionally till the eggplant is browned on all sides. Include the red onions and garlic to the pot. Stir it up a bit, including a bit more olive oil if needed to prevent sticking. As soon as the onions are soft and clear, include the red white wine vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pan and stir the mix till the vinegar has actually vaporized. Include the capers, olives and tomatoes to the pot and stir. Permit the mix to simmer for 15 minutes or two, till the eggplant hurts and the tomatoes have actually discharged a little juice.

Integrate the caponata with the croutons, stirring carefully till simply integrated. Garnish the salad with a healthy drizzle of more olive oil, the halved tomatoes and additional parsley. I likewise like to spread the crouton crumb-y bits left on the pan over the top of the salad for more crunch.

What a stunning looking panzanella. Sounds tasty!
yum! I like caponata and panzanella, genius concept to integrate them!
Ahhh! This makes me wish to return to Sicily so bad! I have what seemed like 100 various variations of caponata there– some more salted, some sweet. The mix of caponata + panzanella is dazzling! Likewise, that is helluvalotta vowels. xo
Caponata and panzanella are 2 of the most fantastic things! I have an Italian pal who makes a just extraordinary caponata- I keep indicating to ask him how he makes it. I wager the hearty, crispy bread is the ideal foil to the melting aubergine and abundant tomato base here.
What beautiful images, and what a fantastic meal! Complimenti1
We simply made this for supper and it was an outright pleasure! Our caponata was a bit more liquidy since our tomatoes were simply that juicy however including raw tomatoes at the end was a genius repair for that.
We included some fresh basil too, even if we had it, and garlic. And after that continued to wolf the entire thing down! Delicious.
I am soooo happy that I discovered this fabulous dish today. How could you fail with both of those blended together? I subbed 4 Japanese Eggplant for 1 big one and toasted an olive oil/rosemary rustic loaf for the bread part. It ran out this world; we ended up the whole plate!
these photos are outright excellence. so, so beautiful … wow. i love ALL your work however the very first image in this post? and the 3rd one …
seriously extraordinary!!
This looks extremely yummy! Take pleasure in the very first cold days!

Uh, caponata -love! You didn’t attempt frying the eggplant for the caponata– I practically never ever do, too, I need to state, as I reside in the tiniest small flat and could not deal with the odor of it. I discover it works perfectly without frying the eggplant too, however oh gosh, the Sicilian oily real-deal thing is something I crave.
I truly like this combination– a little Sicily and a little Tuscany reviewed and blended into such a charming meal. It has actually been reasonably warm here in London however nights are fresh and the oven on is more than invited.
dazzling post. dazzling panzanella. thx:-RRB-
‘ It’s a generous time in my corner of the world.’– Love that. I feel the very same– it was cool here for over a week, which ‘right before fall’ sensation is charming! Fall is my preferred season, and while I dislike to hurry completion of summer season, I do not mind the cooler temperatures. I constantly feel more creative/inspired, too. Your panzanella is stunning! Another excellent concept for supper tonight.:-RRB-
Major goodness. We made this on Sunday with the eggplant, red onion and very sweet grape tomatoes in our bushel today. Wonderful, delighted in every bite, and will put it in the “make frequently” classification when eggplants abound.
Seriously?
With your food photography, I seem like ignoring my computer system screen, reversing around, and taking a running dive to dive right into the screen so I ‘d land smack-dab on your food. Face initially and spread-eagle.
Overall happiness.
