Ratatouille/Caponata

Caponata is Sicilian, more like a relish and usually calls for sugar, raisins and pine nuts and Ratatouille is french and can be served hot or cold. This lands somewhere in between, has zero sugar and is simple, beautiful, and delicious. I think it’s best served room temperature. You can eat it with just about everything, meat, fish, chicken, pasta or all on its own.
