When the heat of high summer sets in, few things hit the spot quite like caponata. With ripe tomatoes, briny olives, capers, and just a touch of vinegar it’s a dish made for sharing, served warm or cold, preferably with a hunk of good bread and a glass of something chilled. This recipe is my take on a Mediterranean classic, made with simple ingredients and a bit of patience. It’s perfect for long lunches, lazy dinners, or even packed up for a picnic by the sea.
