Caponata
Caponata is a dense condiment of chunky fried eggplant and other vegetables and seasonings, jam-packed with flavor—sweet, sour, salty all at once. Sicilians make caponata in many variations and enjoy it in countless ways. Here’s a version I love—use it as a condiment on grilled meats and steamed fish; as a sauce for pasta; or as topping for bruschetta. Buon Gusto! Recipe:
