How to prepare Gluten-free focaccia with caponata
To make gluten-free focaccia with caponata, start with the ingredients for the quick caponata: peel and julienne the onion 1, tip and dice the eggplant into 0.8 inch cubes 2. Lastly, cut the tomatoes in half 3.
Place the onion in a non-stick pan with a drizzle of oil 4 and brown on a low flame for around 10 minutes. Add the eggplant 5, brown on a high flame for another 10 minutes, then add the tomatoes 6.
Flavor with the desalted capers 7, pine nuts 8 and coarsely chopped olives 9.
Add salt, pepper 10 and cook for another 10 minutes, then season with a few hand-torn basil leaves 11: Now place the focaccia on a tray and grill in the oven at 392° for 5 minutes 12.
In the meantime, cut the pecorino cheese into roughly 0.2 inch thick slices 13. Now you are ready to assemble the ingredients: slice the focaccia in half 14 and add the pecorino cheese slices 15.
Add 2 spoons of caponata 16 and complete with the mâche 17. Close the focaccia and repeat with the second piece. Your gluten-free focaccia with caponata is ready to be enjoyed 18!
Storage
Gluten-free focaccia with caponata is best enjoyed freshly prepared. The caponata can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days, in a sealed container.
Tips
If you prefer you can replace the pecorino with a less mature cheese, such as caciocavallo.
