Eggplant Caponata with Polenta
Caponata is a traditional Italian dish usually made with eggplant, tomatoes, olive, onions, and red peppers. It cooked low and slow so the vegetables melt together. Many times it is used as a spread or sauce but in this case we are going to make it the star of the dish and serve it with some polenta. To make this recipe easier, I opted for packaged prepared polenta but you could always make your own. The caponata freezes great so consider making up a double or triple batch. It's great with pasta, on sandwiches, or stirred into soups and stews.
