Vegan Italian Caponata with Dates
RECIPE BY
Caponata is a vegan classic - deliciously spiced eggplants, aromatic pine nuts and lots of garlic make this dish as Italian as it comes. In light of Valentine's Day, we've created a wonderful DATE Night dinner idea with our favourite sweetie: Dates! Pair that with some mood-enhancing organic cocoa powder and our own Date, Kale and Quinoa Salad as a side, and you've got yourself a perfect Date Night Menu! Oh, and have you seen our vegan chocolate pudding with organic date sugar?

Preparation
- Cut the dates open and remove the pits (if necessary). Cut them into small cubes.
- Put the cubed eggplant in a medium sized bowl and mix it with lots of salt and pepper.
- Heat up the olive oil and add the cubbed eggplant (Don't worry about the water in the bottom of the bowl of eggplants, just don't add it to the pan).
- Pat the eggplant into one layer and cook without stirring (for about two minutes).
- Once the bottom of the eggplant cubes is brown, use a spatula to turn them over together. Cook for two more minutes.
- Add oil when necessary and cook until the eggplant cubes are brown all over. Stir as little as possible.
- Remove the eggplant from the pan and set it aside (on a paper towel to absorb excess oil).
- Reduce the heat, add the onion to the pan and cook until translucent but not yet golden.
- Add the red pepper, garlic and chopped dates and cook until soft and fragrant (about 2 min.).
