Caponata

This recipe is from my mom's friend's friend. Sounds delish.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 cup olive oil
• 1  medium onion, coarsely chopped
• 1  medium zucchini, chopped
• 1  medium  summer squash, chopped
• 1  large eggplant
• 2  celery ribs, chopped
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (8 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, medium heat
• 1⁄4 cup black olives, halved
• 1⁄4 cup green olives, halved
• 1⁄4 cup raisins
• 3  tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 cup  sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 1⁄4 cup capers (optional)

Directions

1. Over medium heat get oil hot. Add first six veggies (onion-garlic). Simmer about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, olives, raisins, and, if desired, mushrooms and capers. Simmer a few minutes. Add vinegar and sugar. Simmer 10 minutes. Taste. If it tastes a little vinegary, that's good, because vinegar will get milder s it cools. Cook until veggies are done to your liking.
2. This recipe doesn't specify the amount it makes. I'm estimating 8 servings. I've also estimated the prep/cooking time. I'll have to modify it after I've tried it.
