Fantastic. I don't bother peeling the eggplant, and I personally don't like mushrooms or olives. I substitute zucchini for the mushrooms, and 1-2 tbl of capers for the olives. Instead of the vinegar sugar combo I followed others suggestion and just use balsamic vinegar to taste-1/4 cup probably. If possible I add fresh herbs instead of dried, and cook it longer than 30 minutes, 45 more likely. Great with fresh soft/crusty bread or over pasta.

I love it. It is a little bit of work/ time consuming, but I put it out every week at our Sabbath table to go on the challah...and my 1 year old loves it too!

What an interesting recipe. I followed another's advice and used splenda instead of sugar. I also added a minced jalepeno pepper for some heat. Next time, I'll add more olives.

Thanks for this fabulous recipe! What a great way to make good use of all the extra garden produce. It all came together so well. Really good hot served with spaghetti.

I made this for a party I attended yesterday. I used balsamic vinegar too, didn't peel the eggplants, but DID salt and drain them in a colander an hour before using them. The recipe came out PERFECT, not marinara-ish AT ALL! I served it with toasted pita chips and it was more popular than the regular salsa/chips on the table. EVERYONE raved about it! I will definitely make this again, not only for home enjoyment but for my company's potluck lunches. Easy, elegant, and very yummy. Splurge for pita chips or toast some French or Italian bread and skip the saltines or Ritz crackers.

This is great!! I used to have a roommate whose mom made something like this and I loved it. The recipe sounded akin to what she made but I had no idea what it was called. Anyway, instead of using red wine vinegar I used balsamic vinegar, just a personal preference of mine, but I think it really helped to develop the flavor, and I used a 1/4 cup of it. The only other alterations were more garlic, not peeling the eggplant, and I didn't have oregano and basil at hand but I had italian seasonings, so I used a 1/2 tsp of that, instead. Oh, and I didn't bother to add the sugar since balsamic vinegar already has some sweetness to it.

I did like this recipe a lot but it kind of tasted like vegetables in marinara sauce. So its a good base that just needs a little more seasonings to the reds sauce. Also mine turned out a little think. Will make again with a few ajustments. its a keeper though

I did not peel the eggplant because the chore seems so tedious and it came fine. Be sure to place the chopped up eggplant and sprinkle and toss the salt and place in colander for 30 minutes. This drains the bitter juices from the eggplant. I served this cold on top of crackers (SEE MY PHOTO). I do recommend serving this on top of Ritz crackers if serving to company. TY for the recipe!! BTW, this recipe is totally vegan too!

Loved this recipe. I made it a couple of days in advance of my diner party, and could barely resist eating it before hand. I didn't change anything from the recipe, but next time I will add more mushrooms.

Not bad, I expected more flavors, it kind of tasted like vegetables in marinara sauce. But very healthy so I will make it again.

This is the recipe that hooked me on the Allrecipes website! I think it's also called caponata. Everyone in my family and all our guests love it. I usually bake it for 45-50 minutes for the eggplant to get tender. It has been great for the South Beach diet (I fudge on the little bit of sugar.)

This was very good, but I doubt there was enough for 48 servings there. Once it was done, I made some italian toasts and spread the antipasto over them, sprinkled some parmesian on top and put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes. It was a big hit at my party.

A great way to use fresh veggies from the garden! This is really easy to make. I love how the vegetables stay crunchy and I LOVE the green olives. I stirred in fresh tomato slices (also from the garden!) right before serving and, mmmmmmmm!!! I think it would also be good warm over pasta.
