What is Caponata?
Pronounced /kah-poh-NAH-tah/
Definition
Caponata is a Sicilian sweet-and-sour eggplant relish with celery, olives, capers, and vinegar, served at room temperature.
It is better the next day, which makes it the ideal thing to cook the night before a party.
Serve it as an antipasto with bread, alongside grilled meat, or spooned over ricotta.

What goes with sausage and peppers?
Serve sausage and peppers on a crusty hero roll, over creamy polenta, with orecchiette, or alongside roasted potatoes. Balance the richness with something sharp: a lemony arugula salad, giardiniera, or a glass of Chianti or Montepulciano.
