"Prepare a festive Mediterranean party platter for your holiday gathering."
Ingredients:
  • 72.80 gm olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 long baguette, thinly sliced
  • 200g marinated olives
  • 200g thinly sliced mortadella
  • 300g piece baked ricotta (see note)
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1 baby eggplant, sliced
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 400g can crushed tomatoes
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
Instructions:
  • In a large, deep frying pan over medium heat, sauté onions and capsicum in oil for 5 minutes until softened. Add eggplant and cook for 10 minutes until softened. Stir in vinegar, tomatoes, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until slightly thickened to make caponata.
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix oil and garlic in a small bowl. Place bread slices in a single layer on the tray. Brush with the oil mixture. Bake for about 10 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Assemble olives, mortadella, ricotta, and garlic croutons elegantly on a platter. Accompany with a side of Caponata.
