A sweet revolution in tradition: apple replaces eggplant for a delicate, unexpected sweet-sour balance.
From the Landof Sicily
The Apple Caponata offers an original reinterpretation of an ancient Sicilian recipe, where the natural sweetness of apples replaces eggplant, creating a delicate and harmonious sweet-and-sour balance. Prepared without frying and with reduced fat content.
- The surprise is in the recipe. Apple takes its place in a savoury dish, meeting the sweet-and-sour dressing without becoming a dessert.
- A contrast worth trying. Serve it with a mature cheese, letting the sweetness of the fruit balance its savoury character.
- Small portions, different flavours. Serve it alongside other Foogolà caponatas, with separate spoons, to explore the different interpretations at the table.
