Seasonal Recipes & Kitchen Stories
Eggplant Caponata
Eggplant caponata is one of those dishes that somehow tastes even better the next day. As it rests, the vegetables soak up the sweet-and-sour dressing, creating layers of flavor that make it equally at home as an appetizer, side dish, or even piled onto grilled bread for lunch.
Traditional Sicilian caponata relies on eggplant, tomatoes, celery, olives, capers, and vinegar for its signature balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. While this version stays true to those roots, I also love adding a couple slices of bacon from time to time. It's certainly not traditional, but the smoky richness pairs beautifully with the sweet eggplant and briny olives. If you have it on hand, it's well worth trying.
Cook With Us — Live & In the Kitchen
We host relaxed, seasonal cook-alongs on YouTube so you can cook right beside us — asking questions, learning techniques, and having some fun in the kitchen along the way.
We’ve taken a little break on creating new videos but feel free to explore past episodes below anytime the cooking mood strikes. We link our shopping lists in the show notes so you can shop for the video in advance.
