Eggplant Caponata
Sicilian favorite eggplant caponata is best known as an appetizer, but it can also hold its own as a side dish or even a main course. Red wine vinegar balances the slight sweetness of this classic eggplant caponata, featuring eggplant, raisins, tomatoes, olives, and capers.Serve with wine and crusty Italian bread. The super absorbent diced eggplant soaks up all the sweet, sour, and salty flavor, so it’s even better the next day—if it lasts that long.
