What is Caponata?<\/h2>\n

Caponata<\/a> is a sweet and sour cooked eggplant dish from Sicily, Italy. It\u2019s traditionally made with chopped eggplant seasoned with olive oil, tomato sauce, celery, olives, and capers.<\/p>\n

There are many variations<\/a> of caponata, with the ingredients varying by region. Other vegetables are sometimes included, and pine nuts and raisins can be incorporated, too. Our inspired version has many of the elements of the traditional dish, but with a non-traditional add-in: white beans!<\/p>\n

How to Make White Bean Eggplant Caponata<\/h2>\n

This EASY, 1-pan<\/strong> dish begins with saut\u00e9ing onion, eggplant, and garlic in olive oil with a little salt until the eggplant begins to soften.<\/p>\n

\"Stirring<\/figure>\n

Then we add caponata classics<\/strong> including tomatoes, capers, and raisins, which creates the sweet, savory, and slightly tangy sauce. Adding water ensures very tender eggplant<\/strong>, while white beans add protein and fiber<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Adding<\/figure>\n

Once the sauce is thick and fragrant<\/strong>, we stir in fresh basil and toasted pine nuts. Then it\u2019s ready to enjoy!<\/p>\n
