Directions
Italian Caponata, From The Honorable John E Baldacci, Governor of Maine His favorite appetizer / side dish as posted on the Govenor’s Index Posted for ZWT3 , I substitute green olives with Calamari olives and used some of the juice out of the jar and left out anchovies , I am not too familiar with eggplant so I thought I would give this a try I had anchovies to use up so this seemed the thing to do it It was very nice Don’t know that I would crave it but a nice change I didn’t have capers and I didn’t feel like opening a can of tomato paste so used the sun-dried tomato pesto I had in the fridge Extra flavor, I figured I also admit that I had mine warm Thanks for sharing Made for ZWT4
