Caponata Stew
Vegetarian Times Issue: February 1, 2007 p.54
Caponata is a Sicilian stew traditionally made with fried eggplant and served at room temperature. This version gets its rich taste from simmered vegetables. Serve it with garlic toast, brown rice or Hummus Cakes.
Directions
- Place eggplant in colander, and sprinkle generously with salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeño, and sauté 10 minutes, or until onion is softened and translucent. Add eggplant and mushrooms, and sauté 10 minutes more, or until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in tomatoes, 1 cup water, wine, capers and oregano. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 50 to 60 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Sounds good, but what is a hummus cake? There is no recipe on the website for those and its suggested to go along with it. I am really curious!
Actually the recipe for the delicious Hummus Cakes is on our website. Here's the link: http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/10075?section=
I love your recipes, but it would be very helpful if you could include the serving size.
We are now including serving sizes for all recipes from February 2008 forward.
Prep times on recipes would also be a great help! Other than that, I love this site. Thanks for the service.
