    large onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2
    stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)

    cup red wine vinegar
  • 2
    tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt*

Directions

1. In large skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add eggplant; cook and stir 5 to 6 minutes or until starting to brown. Remove from skillet. Add remaining olive oil to skillet; cook onion and celery in hot oil about 5 minutes or just until tender.

2. Meanwhile, in small saucepan combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add eggplant, tomatoes, olives, capers, tomato sauce, and pine nuts. Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
