"This is my second order for your oregano and
I would like to say that it is the "BEST" I have ever used. It is better,
much better, than my own home grown oregano. I want to thank you people for
a superior product that I absolutely love and so do the friends I share it
with...God Bless"

3 tablespoons chopped drained bottled capers

- Prepare the Caponata:
In a heavy skillet heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over moderately high heat until it hot but not smoking, in it cook the eggplant, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is tender, and transfer it to a bowl.
To the skillet add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and in it cook the onion and the celery over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Add the olives, capers, vinegar, sugar, raisins, pine nuts, and the tomatoes and cook the mixture, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and the celery is tender, and transfer it to the bowl.
Stir in the parsley, let the caponata cool, and chill it, covered, overnight.
Season the caponata with salt and pepper.
Prepare the Bruschetta:
Grill the bread on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 1 minute on each side, brush the toasts on one side with the olive oil, and sprinkle them with salt to taste.
Top each toast generously with some of the caponata, arrange 2 or 3 toasts on each of 4 plates, and garnish each serving with the parsley sprigs. Makes 4 servings.
