Come fare Caponata Siciliana

Perché iniziare qui

Caponata Siciliana is cooked the way Sicily cooks it — good olive oil used without counting, salt judged by hand, and no fuss about the plate. This is the home version, written down the way an Italian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Caponata Siciliana is a quintessential dish from the sun-drenched island of Sicily, where it's a staple of everyday home cooking. This version is true to the way Sicilian families have enjoyed it for generations, using generous amounts of olive oil and a pinch of salt measured by instinct rather than by spoon. Traditionally, it graces the table as a comforting, yet vibrant offering, unpretentious and delicious. Expect a medley of flavors that mingle and intensify with each bite. The tender eggplants and tomatoes are balanced by the briny green olives and capers, while a touch of red wine vinegar and sugar weaves a subtle sweetness and tang. It’s a dish that speaks of simplicity and depth, best enjoyed with crusty bread to mop up every luscious drop.
