    instructions For the Caponata: In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add about 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Saute the onions for 1-2 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized. Add the remaining vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
