Caponatina - Italian appetizer (Family Recipe)
1 med. Eggplant - chopped small
1 med. Zucchini - chopped small
2 lg. carrots - chopped small
3 stalks celery - chopped small
3 med. Onions - chopped small
1 lb. fresh mushrooms - chopped small
1 (3 oz) bottle capers
1/2 lb. Italian green olives
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce (Auntie only uses DelMonte brand but a thick not overwhelmingly spiced tomato sauce will be fine)
3/4 c. apple cider vinegar
1/4 c. olive oil
Fry celery, carrots, and onions in oil for about 8 minutes before adding the rest of the vegetables. Add tomato sauce and vinegar last. Cook for 30 minutes or until most of the liquid has been consumed.
Excellent for canning (bottling). My Aunties put this up every fall.
