The Italian eggplant classic gone raw. If you would like to reduce the amount of oil, replace with equal amount of tomato soak liquid. :) Note: shown pictured with caponata crisps. I also made “caponata poppers.” Cut mini sweet bell peppers (red, orange, yellow) in half, remove seeds, fill with caponata, and top...

this is amaaaaazing. I am eating right now for lunch over a bed of baby spinach. I let it marinate overnight. I cant believe raw eggplant could be this good!!! I used local farm tomatoes and eggplant and herbs from my garden. WOW. Thanks so much for this recipe :)

This is an awesome dish! The sauce is excellent and it tastes great! The egg plant with soak up any sauce it is matched with, and this soaks up the great-tasting sauce nicely. It is also a good dish that keeps will in the frige. The more it maranates the better it gets. I think you could also serve this as a wrap or in a whole green or red pepper. Thanks!!

I made this last night. It's fantastic. I put it over a bed of dandelion greens and the combo really worked. Thanks!

not only is it great on a bed of shredded kale, but after a couple of days, I blended it into a dip and it was amazing with cut celery! I will definitely be making this again! thanks :)

This looks amazing. I also followed the link to the chopwizard.com. I ordered it from Amazon.com, which has free shipping (the chopwizard.com site charges over $12 for shipping!). Thanks for the recommendation, and also for the link to the eggplant article. Very helpful!

Had this last night and it rocked! We added carrots, walnuts and raw kalamata olives because we didn't have any celery and sundried tomaotes.

Made this this week using the small eggplant with purple striped skin--not sure of the gender :-). It was totally fabulous; I like it better than the cooked version b/c it's so fresh tating and the eggplant wasn't bitter at all. I think the small dice is part of what helps. I only used about 2/3 of the dressing and the dressing itself it quite tasty so I'm looking forward to finding other ways to use it.

Wow, I never knew that eggplant was gendered either... I have no idea whether I ate a boy or a girl eggplant yesterday, LOL. I made this yesterday for lunch, and my mom and brother and I all loved it. It was really tasty. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

hi nutritionmagician...im not sure if this is true,but i pick "male" eggplant.they have a shallow round indentation in its bottom as opposed to the "female" which has a deeper dash shaped indentation.i pick lighter eggplants ,weight wise, as they tend to have less (bitter) seeds.also, i find that the "bigger is better" theory is not true for eggplant! hope this helps;)

This looks fabulous! In the world of cooked foods, I'm used to salting eggplant and letting it sit an hours before using it in a recipe to get the bitter taste out. I'm wondering how it tastes in this recipe w/o doing that? I love Caponata so can't wait to try this.
