Caponata is a sweet-and-sour Sicilian version of ratatouille. It should be served at room temperature, but it’s good cold and tastes even better if made the day before and left to chill overnight. It makes a great topping for bruschetta but last night I used it as a relish to top off grilled swordfish (sooo delicious! Read more ) See less
