Caponata is a traditional Sicilian dish, known for its rich sweet-and-sour flavour.
It’s a vegetable stew with aubergine as the main ingredient, combined with tomato, celery, olives, onion, and capers. The distinctive agrodolce (sweet-and-sour) taste comes from balancing sugar and vinegar. Italians typically enjoy Caponata at room temperature as an antipasto, sometimes with bread and/or burrata, or as a side dish.
