Hi everyone!

The caponata (similar to the French ratatouille), is a simple dish but that is rich in taste where the eggplant, zucchini, celery, tomatoes and peppers with the addition of spices, are well combined creating scents of the Mediterranean flavors. 

You can store it for 2/3 days in the fridge in a glass container covered with film. It should be served cold with slices of homemade bread or croutons.

Having trouble digesting the peppers, I have eliminated them from the recipe and I guarantee that it is delicious the same.

Let’s start:
