Caponata

Caponata

Caponata is a traditional Italian side dish that can be served hot or cold. It is made with eggplant, mushrooms, green pepper, onion and garlic. The vegetables are slightly cooked and then simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce that is a touch sweet. It will go nicely with just about any protein you are serving.

There is a bit of chopping involved to make this recipe but the cooking time is fairly fast and it makes a large batch.

You can keep this in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It is the kind of recipe that becomes more flavorful the longer it sits. You can also freeze this in a freezer container for up to 2 months.

If you like a side dish like this, you also may enjoy Ratatouille. If you want some other ideas on how to cook with eggplant check out Roasted Eggplant Dip, Eggplant Parmesan and Roasted Eggplant Ziti.
