Caponata (Sicilian: capunata) is a Sicilian eggplant dish consisting of a cooked vegetable made from chopped fried eggplant and seasoned with sweetened vinegar, with capers in a sweet and sour tomato sauce.
We picked, chopped, and sauted this delicious appetizer for Thursday night's potluck. Everyone chipped in. Tomorrow we'll sample it with crackers! Try it yourself... recipe following photos!
