Sicilian Eggplant Caponata
This piquant dish is a cornerstone of Sicilian cooking and a classic expression of agrodolce—an Italian term for sweet-and-sour. Eggplant forms the base, sautéed until tender with sweet red peppers and onions. It simmers down with juicy tomatoes, briny green olives, and a splash of vinegar, creating a tangy, jammy-like mix that’s topped with flaked almonds. Serve hot, cold, or somewhere in between—you can’t go wrong with this one.
