¾ big celery (roughly 5 stalks, chopped on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces)
25 green olives, pitted and cut in half.
1 tablespoon capers, set in water for 10 mins and drained
7 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 tablespoon sugar
60g sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon rice or white wine vinegar
1 onion
Instructions
Lightly blanch the onion and the celery in a saucepan of boiling water; Drain and reserve.
Put the oil in a big frying pan (I used my big wok), and fry the eggplant until cooked and golden (you might have to do two batches not to overcrowd). Then add all the other ingredients, mix well, and leave to cook for a further 10 minutes.
