This vibrant aubergine caponata with fennel, olives, and raisins is a beautiful celebration of Sicilian flavours. The combination of salty Kalamata olives and sweet golden raisins creates a sophisticated agrodolce profile that perfectly balances the earthy aubergine and aromatic fennel. It is a wonderfully fragrant dish that develops a deeper, more complex character if left to sit for a few hours before serving.
As a naturally vegan recipe, this versatile vegetable stew makes an excellent addition to a summer mezze platter or as a substantial side dish for a weekend lunch. It is particularly delicious when served at room temperature alongside some toasted sourdough or used as a topping for bruschetta. This healthy, homemade classic is also ideal for meal prep, as it keeps beautifully in the fridge.
