Instructions:

For the caponata, peel the melanzani, cut into large cubes, season with salt and pepper and drain on a sieve or paper towel. Meanwhile, dice celery, onion, peppers (peeled as needed) and carrot. Slice garlic, coarsely chop olives and basil. Heat oil in a large skillet, add celery, onion, bell bell pepper, garlic and carrot and saute over moderate heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Transfer everything to a shallow roasting pan, but leave the oil residue in the pan. Dust melanzani lightly with flour, add in batches to pan and fry over medium heat until golden. (Add more oil if needed.) Also add to roasting pan. Briefly scald the tomatoes, peel, dice and add together with the olives, vinegar, sugar, basil and chopped parsley and bake covered in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes.

Remove the caponata, stir well and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the capers and return the roaster to the oven for a few minutes without the lid.
