It's traditionally served as an appetizer, either spread on crostini or in a bowl alongside toasted bread for DIY slathering. But that's just the beginning. Tuck it into sandwiches, spoon it over grilled chicken, lamb, or fish, use it as a topping for burgers, or serve it as a sauce for crispy grain fritters.
From the Spanish caponada, the word caponata derives from capone, the name given in some parts of Sicily to the lampuga, a fish prized by the aristocracy that was seasoned with sweet and sour sauce. The people, unable to afford the expensive fish, replaced it with the cheaper aubergines and kept the tasty sauce.
