Passover Caponata
Ingredients
This is the simplest, sunniest dish you can imagine. You layer on the
ingredients – don’t bother stirring – slow roast and dip in.

1 small lemon, washed, and thinly sliced
4 medium zucchini, washed, trimmed and sliced into ½ inch slices
½ cup pitted or pimento stuffed green olives
½ cup pitted black olives, sliced
½ bunch parsley, fined minced
½ teaspoon dry Italian spices
1 28 ounce can ground or diced tomatoes, preferably plum
Salt, pepper, to taste (adjust later)
¼ cup red wine
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice or Passover vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
