[patchyu]

@kittenxlover she said its to help the eggplants sautee. and it wasnt even alot..

[kittenxlover]

she said you dont have to salt the eggplant then 2 secs later she salted it lmao

[Jakathera]

anyone notice that the amount of eggplant she put into the pan was not the amount from the whole eggplant?

[ohnoaperson543]

...I kinda like raisins. Maybe not in a sandwich, but I've never tried it.

[Lovelessinhell]

@nina3993 preference?

[Hannahand4everMiley]

I'm ok with the sugar, but wth is with the raisins? Raisins in a sandwich? Just doesn't go together. :P

[AWickedMind]

I was with her til the raisins and sugar bit.

[phishhead11]

raisins?

[mylove1]

this dish just became unhealthy with the sugar.

[tycoon1994]

@mylove1 sugar actually is healthy... your body needs sugar to operate! thats what gives your body the energy needed!

[ava2hot19]

i tried this and it was amazing. i love her food

[sarathomas208]

i have notice she put too much salt on eveything

[radster197979]

What a beautiful young Woman, wow !

I love her style too, very much a Lady....

[Jellybeaner1991]

her dishes and recipes are very fresh and crisp, she knows what she's talking about =]

[vladovna]

If I skipped raisins would I do too much damage?

[streetwhereulive]

You can but you defeat the purpose. Try using dried cherries instead. (I don't like raisins either.) I also use rice wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. It takes less sugar.

[ava2hot19]

@vladovna no. i usually skip them to

[phiaju]

she has such passion for cooking! I LOVE HER!

[frdrcksncn]

[callifornia101]

[liplylips]

My mother made this dish, with eggplant, celery, capers, onions, green olives (sliced no pits) and tomato sauce. No raisins and no peppers. A little sugar at the end, it's suppose to be sweet. My mother cooked this dish longer than Giada did. She would make tons of this at one time and put them in glass jars and give them to me and my brothers. We ate it with Italian or American bread.

[jdungan74]

Would probably hold together better and be easier to eat at a picnic if she had made this into a panini. I'm keen on anything she does with fresh mozzarella.

[xxpsychopunkxx]

how could she slice an onion and not cry?

[codybird344]

Through the magic of television! :P

[streetwhereulive]

If you leave one end on the onion when you're cutting it, it won't make you cry. Try it.

[NadiSenn]

i watch he show all the time at 4:30 she is such a grat cook i make her dishes all the time

[BabyGurl54]

if you use sicilian eggpplant, they are like a light purple, olives, no raisins, carrrots,celery, no peppers no fruit. thats what I use. That's where my family gets theri caponata. we are from cinisi, palermo, sicily.

[IAMPROMOTERKCDAN]

I LOVE HER

[mbrusstar]

I just tried this reciepe: I omitted the raisins and sugar to give it more bite.  It is so good and easy to make! Thank Giada Ciao!
