Caponata is one of the best known Sicilian side dishes, made up of fried aubergines, celery, tomatoes, olives and the typical sweet and sour sauce that characterizes it.
My mum made a version with baked vegetables. This healthier version of the dish is nevertheless very delicious and addictive!
Let’s make it together 🙂
