Tips
Caponata is best served in an elegant ceramic or glass bowl. It pairs wonderfully with fresh bread, and you can use basil leaves as a garnish. Serve it both warm and cold.
Store leftover caponata in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen, but it's best to reheat it in a pan to preserve its flavor and texture.
