carta assorbente ed unitelo alle melanzane. Togliete dalla padella quasi tutto
l’olio usato e nel poco rimasto rosolate la cipolla; appena sarà dorata unite i
pomodori e dopo 10 minuti aggiungete lo zucchero, l’aceto e le olive, i
capperi, i pinoli, l’uvetta strizzata, le melanzane e il sedano. Condite il
tutto con sale e pepe e mescolate bene. Lasciate cuocere a fuoco basso per
