Steps:
- Toss eggplant with salt, let drain: Toss the diced eggplant with about 2 tablespoons salt and put into a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate that just about fits the bowl and weigh it down with a heavy can. Let this sit for 1 hour. Drain the eggplant, rinse with fresh water and pat dry with paper towels.
- Cook onions, celery, garlic: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery, season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion begins to soften - about 5 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes more. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sear the eggplant: Wipe the pan with a paper towel, turn the heat to high and add the remaining olive oil. Let this heat until the oil is nearly smoking. Add the eggplant and spread it out in as thin a layer as you can in the skillet. Let this sizzle for 1-2 minutes before stirring, then let it sit for a full minute before stirring again. Cook like this for 5-6 minutes.
- Combine with other ingredients: Add the onion-celery mixture, the tomatoes, olives, pine nuts, capers and red pepper flakes. Stir well. Add the vinegar, sugar and tomato paste and stir once more. Cook, stirring occasionally until eggplant is very soft, about 8 minutes.
- Let cool, add basil, salt, pepper: Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Mix in the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Caponata can be refrigerated, covered, up to 5 days.

- Salt & Rinse Eggplant: Line a jellyroll pan with paper towels. Spread out eggplant cubes and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons salt. Cover with paper towels. Pace another baking tray on top and add a weight, such as heavy skillet. Let that all stand for 1/2 hour to an hour. (you can cut up the other veggies while you wait) Rinse the eggplant in a mesh colander. Line the same jellyroll pan with more paper towels. Transfer the rinsed eggplant to the tray and pat it dry with another layer of paper towels.
- Saute the Eggplant: Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet (cast iron is best) over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the eggplant in a single layer. Leave it undisturbed for two minutes so it browns a bit. Continue to cook, stirring often, for another 5 minutes, until eggplant is brown in spots and starting to soften. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined mesh colander. Add another 1/4 cup olive oil to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the eggplant.
- Add another 1/4 cup olive oil to the skillet. Add the onions, garlic and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until the onions are softened. Add the bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are softened. Add the tomato paste, olives, raisins capers, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring frequently, for 8 minutes. Add the eggplant to the skillet. Whisk the sugar and vinegar together in a small bowl and pour into the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature. Caponata will keep for a week covered in the fridge and is best served at room temp after a day of letting the flavors meld.

- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the eggplant cubes with salt (if you have the time, set it aside in a colander to sweat out its bitterness for about 20 or 30 minutes, while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Pat dry with paper towel).
- Place the seasoned eggplant cubes on a sheet pan, add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons or so) and toss to coat. Roast the eggplant in the heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, bell pepper, and celery. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, tossing regularly until softened.
- Add the tomatoes, capers, olives, raisins, honey, bay leaf and crushed pepper flakes. Pour in the vinegar and white wine. Stir to combine. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
