AUBERGINE CAPONATA - USES AND CONSUMPTION:
The aubergine caponata, widespread throughout the Mediterranean Sea, dates back to the 18th century and used to be a single dish, accompanied with bread. Today, it is generally used as a side dish or appetiser.
It must be considered a true popular etymology that traces 'caponata' back to 'capone', the name by which, in some parts of Sicily, the lampuga is called, a fish with fine but rather dry meat that was served on the tables of the aristocracy, seasoned with the sweet-and-sour sauce typical of caponata. The people, unable to afford the expensive fish, replaced it with cheap aubergines. In fact, it is the latter recipe that has come down to us.
La caponata (capunata in Sicilian) is a typical product of Sicilian cuisine. Catania's caponata is distinguished from other caponatas by the predominance of aubergine and tomato, combined with pine nuts and fresh basil.
All lovers of good food should try aubergine caponata at least once in their lives.
