We love eggplant cooked many ways but a good caponata is to die for.
Progresso Foods used to have caponata in small cans (6 oz) but
unfortunately I haven't seen them in perhaps 30 years... they likely
lost money on the recipe, I don't know. For a long time now I prepare
my own. There are many recipes, as many recipes as there are
Sicilianos who prepare caponata. I prepare mine Sicilian Brooklyn
style with olives and white raisins, as mandated by The Mob... served
with semolina bread and plenty dago red.
