Rinse, trim, and finely dice the eggplant. Rinse and trim the peppers. Cut in halve, and finely dice. Rinse, trim, and slice the celery. Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sweat the onions and the garlic, then add the eggplant and celery, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the pine nuts, mix to combine, and cook briefly. Push the vegetables to the edge of the pan, then add the sugar to the center. Let caramelize lightly, then deglaze with the vinegar. Mix with the vegetables, then add the tomatoes and olives.
