Cut eggplant into 1/2" cubes. Heat 1/3 c. olive oil in large,
preferably stainless steel skillet and sauté cubes for 5 min.,
stirring. Eggplant will absorb the oil and change color
somewhat during this process. Remove eggplant to another
container. Add remaining oil to the same skillet and sauté
onions until transparent. Add celery and tomatoes with their
juice. Cook over med-high heat for about 15 min., stirring
often until sauce has reduced and is thickened. Stir in vinegar,
sugar, seasonings and sautéed eggplant and cook, covered,
for 10 min. Add olives, capers and pine nuts and cook,
uncovered, 10 min. longer. Taste for seasonings.
Cool to room temperature. Serve with sliced baguette or
crackers. Make ahead to attain full flavor. Freezes well.
