A cold dish with sautéd aubergine, celery, onion, capers, and olives, stewed in tomato sauce.
This is a great dish for a warm day. It needs to be prepared in advance, which means there is no work on the day it is served 🙂 .
We had my brother-in-law and his family around and enjoyed our lunch in the garden in lovely spring sunshine. I had also prepared a Cottage Cheese Pie (p. 96) which went very well with the Caponata. Serve with a salad or steamed vegetables (we had some crisp asparagus salad- yummy!).
