Eggplant caponata

today i got to try out eggplant caponata for the second time. this time however, i substituted the golden raisins with goji berries as i didn't have any raisins in stock.
the recipe which triggered me is from fresh.com and is a recipe from Jamie Oliver. you can find it  here:

as you can see i made a whole batch and bottled it.
i used about 4 medium eggplants, cutup, fried in olive oil and added onion, garlic, oregano, tomatopaste, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, capers, goji berries instead of golden raisins , green en black olives and instead of green or red peppers, i opted to use some ayvar, a red hot pepper sauce.
at the end i sprinkled some togarashi on top and let the tastes marry.
i served it alongside some slices of aged cracker barrel cheddar cheese, jalapeno pepper cheese, basil leaves and whole weat bread, which i toasted for fun in my waffle iron.
now, let's see who i get to spoil with a bottle of home made eggplant caponata
