Traditional caponata is a Sicilian specialty that consists of eggplant stewed in oil with onions, tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies. Here, we’ve added crunchy cauliflower that’s quick-cured with sugar and salt, and instead of stewing, we’ve grilled the eggplant for deeper flavor. Purple cauliflower is becoming more widely available at farmers' markets; white cauliflower would also be delicious here. The antioxidant anthocyanin is responsible for the purple color.
