Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large saute pan (as the eggplant will
soak it up). Brown the eggplant in the oil in small batches. Set aside in a
stainless steel bowl.
Heat more oil. Saute peppers until soft. Add to bowl with the eggplant.
Cook onions and garlic until onions are tender. Add brown sugar and vinegar
and cook 2 minutes. Add tomato puree and cook until you have a thick, brown
sweet-and-sour sauce. Pour sauce over eggplant and peppers and toss to coat.
Add capers, anchovies and herbs, and mix well. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
