That's right - it's time to plan another lunch. This time it will be sandwiches of Eggplant and Fig Caponata. What's not to love? Eggplant - good. Figs - good. Lunch - good. (Does that remind anyone else of when Joey is eating a meat trifle that Rachel accidentally made on Friends?) But seriously, this one hits the spot.This caponata is also great as an appetizer. Make it when you are having friends over for dinner and serve it with crackers or pita. That way your guests can happily much along, enjoying it with a glass of wine, until your luscious dinner is ready. The sweetness of the figs leaves a light taste lingering in your mouth long after you have finished eating.
Eggplant-Fig Caponata
Cooking Light has once again come through. I basically followed the recipe, omitting the parsley more because I didn't want to run out and buy it than for any real taste reason. You should find the recipe easy to follow and well worth the little bit of time it takes.
Double the recipe for extra sandwiches. While delicious, these aren't super filling since there is no protein. I found I wanted two light sandwiches or one larger wrap to satisfy my hunger at lunch. The extra should easily keep for a week in the fridge - just stick some saran wrap securely on a bowl.
Enjoy!
