Caponata With Poblanos and Roasted Garlic

"A spicy, tangy and sweet Sicilian cooked vegetable salad with an added Mexican touch. Which gives this significant heat depending on the poblanos. They tend to be mild, to unpredictably hot. Adding 1 whole bulb of roasted garlic bring this to aaaaaAAAAAHHHhhhh YUM levels!!!!.. You can use Recipe #243689 Recipe #248301 these recipes as a guide. Or follow my directions here.I have also Recipe #102724 posted here on zaar which is equally delish."

  1. Hubby absolutely loved this! I would probably give it a 3-4, but that's because I think it's just not something I care for and is no fault of the recipe. (This was my first time trying caponata, and I've discovered I prefer my veggies warm unless it's a green salad), so I'll base my review on what he said. This was a wonderful complex blending of flavors! I loved the number of different types of veggies and spices involved, it allowed for a really complex flavor and a created a gorgeous multicolor salad! One other note: the total time involved to make this was much longer for me. With the roasting and all of the chopping, it was at least 2 hours, maybe closer to 2.5, so be sure you have enough time set aside to make this. Thanks Rita for posting this unique veggie recipe! I'm glad I tried it, and will keep it in mind as a canning gift for people I know like relishes. Made for Newest Zaar tag.
