Capponata is a southern Italian dish and part of the Mediterranean diet. It\'s similar to rattatouille but baked instead of cooked on top of a stove. I find it much more favourful and the vegetable retain their shape. It can be used as a side with meat or fish or eaten alone with crusty Italian bread. I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients
2-3 baby eggplants

2 medium zucchini

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

2 medium potatoes

1 large tomatoe

3 cloves of garlic

sprig of fresh oregano (or 1 tsp• dried)

1 tsp• hot pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Method
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut all vegetables into cubes. Combine all vegetables and spices into an 11 x 14 in. glass baking dish. Add the oil. It may seem like a lot but the amount of vegetables warrants it. Bake for about one hour, stirring occasionally.

Serves about 6 people.
