I've been so excited to make this dish since I saw the episode last week. I substituted zucchini for eggplant, as I'm not an eggplant fan and I had a ton of zucchini on hand. I also omitted the raisins, as my husband strongly dislikes dried fruit in any dish. It turned out fabulous! I served it as a side dish to a marinated, grilled tilapia. Will def make again!! Excited to try the leftovers on a grilled sandwich!

Giada's caponata is delicious. I put it on rice, chicken, etc. Very versatile.

I made just the caponata for Super Bowl Sunday in a skiing condo. Put it on crostini. Very easy recipe to make in a "foreign" kitchen. Family loved it. This will become a go-to recipe.

We loved it! The caponata was SO easy to make! We don't like cooked raisins, so I used pitted kalamata olives instead, adding them in when I added the red peppers. I also don't like melted cheese, so I used about a quarter of the amount of provolone and it was still amazing.

Also, the recipe makes so much caponata, so now we're figuring out how to use the rest of it!

I'm not an eggplant fan at all but this is really YUM! I can see where some might think it a little sweet but that's just a matter of preference. Is great with less sugar too. I lightly breaded and baked some chicken tenders and put them on the panini with the cheese and Caponata. (Because I live with carnivores Made it a little hardier for the guys. I could just eat it plain right out of the pan. Next time I will make a double batch!

This time of year, late July, I almost always start making big pots of ratatouille as my garden is producing all the necessary ingredients... but I was wishing for a change, and today happened to sit down in front of the TV knowing Giada was on and she was pareparing this recipe - wow, what a fabulous combination of flavors, especially with the just picked plum tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, Japanese eggplant, and bell pepper from my garden. The only variations I made were leaving out the capers, adding 1/2 a finely diced jalopeno pepper (also from the garden, and using fresh oregano because there's a big patch of it in my herb garden.

If you're tired of the same old Provencal ratatouille, try this instead. On a baguette or bruschetta, as a side dish, or on grilled meat - delicious! I'm guessing this might also be very tasty with a robust fish such as halibut.

I reduced the amount of sugar by 2 teaspoons, since some people complained it was too sweet. I thought the sandwich was really good!
