  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Cut the sausage into slices and fry it together with the eggplants and the rest of the vegetables for about 5 minutes under high heat. In the meantime, fry the almonds in a pan without fat until golden brown and take them out.

  4. 4

    Remove caper stems except for 1. Cut capers in half lengthwise. In the middle of the roaster, push the contents aside (4-5 cm Ø). Put sugar in the middle and let it caramelize golden yellow. Deglaze with vinegar and fill up with stock.

  5. 5

    Put 1 stalk of oregano aside for garnishing. Wash the rest of the oregano, dab dry and pluck the leaves from the stalks. Add almonds, oregano and capers. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes at low heat.
