Sicilian Caponata

Back in his restaurant, Il Cociniero, in the hotel Katane Palace, Carmelo shows us how to make one of Sicily’s most important dishes: caponata. Made with eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and many other ingredients depending on where in Sicily you find yourself. It’s a dish, Carmelo says, that brings together all the different influences on Sicilian cuisine, Arab, Norman, Spanish, and products that arrived after the discovery of America.
