In the seafood category, my favorite was the seared tuna, which came with a tangy caponata made with eggplant, pine nuts, and white raisins. |
Dinner might start with swordfish carpaccio, moving on to seafood with noodles, tuna with peppers, or caponata, a Sicilian speciality based on aubergines. |
Break the burrata on to the caponata or leave it whole, scatter the basil over and drizzle with a little olive oil. |
But a taste of cubanelle, a poblano chili stuffed with cheese, caponata, and peppers, will help you take leave all over again. |
Some poetic licence was used, as caponata is a Sicilian dish usually served cold, though this interpretation went down well. |
To throw a handful into the likes of the classic aubergine caponata will prove inspirational. |
