Description

This dish is a wonderful way to bring the flavors of the Mediterranean to your plate. The combination of crisp vegetables, aromatic herbs and al dente farfalle makes this meal a real treat. I like to make the caponata in the summer when the vegetables are particularly fresh and aromatic. The preparation is straightforward and the result tastes simply delicious. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner. If you like, you can sprinkle some grated cheese on top.

About this recipe

Farfalle with Mediterranean vegetables, for me, is more than just a recipe. It is a reminder of sunny holidays in Italy, of markets full of fragrant herbs and of long evenings with friends and good food. The caponata, the basis of this dish, has its roots in Sicily and is actually a sweet and sour vegetable dish that is traditionally served as a side dish. I have modified it here somewhat and combined it with pasta to create a complete dish. The list of ingredients may seem long at first glance, but each individual component contributes to the overall taste. The eggplant provides a creamy texture and a slightly bitter taste that harmonizes perfectly with the sweetness of the peppers. The red onion and celery add a pleasant spiciness and flavor to the dish, while the spring onions add a fresh note. The dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water and pureed, form the base for the sauce and give it an intense tomato flavor. The pine nuts, briefly roasted, provide a crunchy contrast and a nutty aroma. And of course, the olives and capers, which give the dish its typical Mediterranean flavor, should not be missing. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important to pay attention to the order of the ingredients. First, the onions, spring onions and celery are sautéed to release their flavors. Then the eggplant is added, which takes a little longer to cook. The peppers are added later so that they retain their crispy consistency. The reverse is important so as not to chop the vegetables too much. The cooking time may vary depending on the ripeness of the vegetables. It is best to taste in between and extend the cooking time if necessary. The farfalle should be cooked al dente before being added to the mixing bowl. If you want to prepare the dish vegetarian or vegan, you can replace the balsamic vinegar with another vinegar and make sure that the olives used have not been treated with animal products. For a spicier version, chilli flakes can be added. Instead of rosemary and thyme, other Mediterranean herbs such as oregano or basil can also be used. The farfalle with Mediterranean vegetables taste best when freshly prepared. But they can also be prepared well in advance and served cold as a salad. A fresh green salad or a piece of crusty bread goes well with this. If you like, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan or Pecorino on top. The leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day. They then taste almost even better, as the flavors have had even more time to develop.
