PROCESSING
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly, the eggplants are cut into cubes without removing the peel and left for a few hours to soak with water and salt. Drained and dried, the aubergines are fried in a pan with plenty of sunflower oil so as to cover them, while in another pot a sauté is made with thinly sliced onion, with garlic, with celery into small pieces and, after a few minutes of cooking, the peppers cut into fillets or squares are added. In another steel pot the peeled tomato is cooked with capers, olives and a pinch of pepper, after which the two sautéed and a little extra-virgin olive oil are added to it. Everything is cooked for about 15 minutes and almost at the end of cooking, to fix the sweet and sour, a little red wine vinegar and sugar are put there.
