What is caponata? Well, when cooked down a lot, to some it’s a stew or even a spread. To us it was more of an appetizer or even a condiment. I described it to my sweetie as Italian salsa. Dad would jar and refrigerate it and mom served it alongside cheese, meat or on Italian bread. Typically it is served at room temperature and I like it best on some toasted garlic bread. The flavor complements either chicken or fish well.
