    To take the bitterness out of eggplant, salt the cubes and place in a colander for 30 minutes, and squeeze out the liquid before cooking. Caponata has celery, usually, as in the picture, and Sicilian caponata adds in raisins as well as olives. - 6/14/12

    I love caponata - I add onion, peppers, and celery - and I skip the oil and begin with just a little water in the bottom of a big pot so things don't stick. I figure I get enough fat from other things I eat. - 6/18/12

    This is one of my favorite 'Get back on Track' meals. It is easy, tasty, and it always brings me back into line with my weight when I have eaten well all day and top this off for dinner. I do add an onion cut in chunks and a red pepper cut in slices. Filling too - 8/2/11

    I was so inspired with my bare fridge and cupboards, I saw this and said hey I have zucchini left and well I am allergic to egg plant I did have yellow squash. topped it off with red peppers and the last four grape tomatoes I had. Then I got really creative and homemade GF dumplings from scratch. - 6/6/12
