Italian Caponata

Description

Sicily, the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea, is the home of Caponata.

The main ingredients are local, sun-ripened vegetables such eggplant, tomatoes, onions, celery, olives and pine nuts.

Eggplant is fried in olive oil creating a dominant taste both sweet and bitter which in Italian is "agrodolce".

The "agrodolce" taste comes also from the use of vinegar and sugar as ingredients.

Caponata and Rosé wines are a gastronomic match made in heaven. They create the perfect balance with the agro-dolce and bitter vegetable taste.

Bubbles are best when Caponata is served as an apetizer. While red wines are magic with Caponata as a main course.
