Eggplant Caponata - Traditional Sicilian Recipe

  • How Segreti di Sicilia aubergine caponata is produced

    Eggplant Caponata is a simple and traditional recipe with an intense and full-bodied flavor which for us has the flavor of celebration. It has the typical red color due to the addition of tomato sauce. The sweet and sour flavour, characteristic of Sicilian caponata, is well balanced. The recipe includes, in addition to the tomato, the addition of carrots, green olives, capers, celery, onion, brown sugar, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil and oregano. That is, all the ingredients of the typical Sicilian caponata.

  • The origin and quality of ingredients and processing

    Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and processing techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.

Ulteriori Informazioni

The aubergine has many organoleptic properties that the typical Sicilian recipe, caponata, tends to enhance. Respecting tradition and the quality of the raw material, we fry our aubergines only in Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, cooked in a low pressure pan to preserve the characteristics and natural aromas of the product.

Eggplant Caponata can be considered as a finished dish or as an accompaniment. For example, it can be a single starter course, to be enjoyed with croutons, placed on a platter of cheeses and cured meats or served on bruschetta as an alternative to tomato. But it is also ideal as an accompaniment to second courses. Its typical sweet and sour flavour, in fact, lends itself very well to accompanying white meats or robust fish.

Our recipe for aubergine caponata strictly follows tradition but the processing and cooking methods have been innovated to allow greater respect for the raw material and its organoleptic qualities. This recipe, typical of the eastern part of Sicily (each area has its own variations) involves frying the aubergines, strictly in extra virgin olive oil, and the addition, as a condiment, of tomato sauce, carrots, green olives, capers , celery, onion, cane sugar, vinegar, Frantoi Cutrera extra virgin olive oil, salt, basil and oregano.

The difference between these two typical Sicilian recipes, very similar to each other, is simple: the classic Caponata includes aubergine as the main ingredient, in fact, it is also called aubergine Caponata (with the addition of onions, olives, tomato, celery, etc...) . Peperonata, however, as the name suggests, is prepared with peppers to which the ingredients of caponata are added, including sugar and wine vinegar which give these dishes their characteristic sweet and sour flavour.
