Caponata Serving Suggestions
Crostini of Caponata - toast some sliced baguette under the grill. Once golden, remove and top with a spoonful of caponata and a sprig of basil.
Barbeque with Veru - Delicious served with meat, sausages, or gourmet burgers, straight from the barbeque or grill.
Sandwiches - great with cheese, cold meats, or as a vegetarian filling all on its own.
Mini tartlets for canapes - just fill some ready made mini tartlet cases with a spoonful of caponata and serve.
