Step 1

Cut the eggplant into 3/4” cubes. Toss with 1 Tbsp. salt and mix together with your hands; place in a colander and let drain over a bowl for 30-40 minutes.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion and brown in a pan with 1/4 cup oil over low heat, for around 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cut the tomatoes into wedges and remove the center section and seeds. Cut into strips. Slice the celery heart (the light, tender part in the center) and chop the leaves. Rinse the capers well under running water.

Step 4

Add the tomatoes and the celery to the pan with the onions and, after 5 minutes, add the olives, capers and pine nuts.

Step 5

Gently squeeze the eggplant, transfer to paper towels and dry well; heat extra-virgin olive oil (2” deep) in a shallow pan and fry the eggplant in small batches for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Remove with a skimmer and add to the pan with the onions.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add torn basil leaves, vinegar, 1 Tbsp. sugar and, if necessary, a pinch of salt; increase the heat and let vinegar evaporate, then remove from heat and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Ideally, prepare a day in advance.
