- Preheat a large saucepan on medium heat.
- Add olive oil and allow it to heat.
- Add onion, celery, and eggplant.
- Cover and reduce heat between medium-medium low.
- Cook for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes and bringing the content on the bottom of the pan to the top to promote even cooking.
- Meanwhile, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl of boiling water for 5 minutes (skip this step if using tomatoes that are packaged in olive oil).
- Remove tomatoes and slice into 1/4 inch strips.
- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk sugar, red wine vinegar, and tomato paste.
- After 15 minutes of cooking, the eggplant should be tender.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, garlic, salt, and pepper to the pan.
- Cook and stir, uncovered, for a minute or so.
- Pour in the red wine vinegar mixture.
- Cook, stirring frequently until liquid is absorbed for 2 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Heat the wraps using your preferred method, if desired.
- Or you can use them at room temp.
- To assemble each wrap: Spread or crumble 1/4 of the goat cheese onto the middle section of the wrap, avoiding the edges.
- Layer with 1/4 of the basil leaves followed by 1/4 of the caponata.
- Fold in the edges and roll up wrap burrito-style.
- Continue assembling the remaining wraps.
