Eggplant Caponata by Perche’ Ci Credo

This Sicilian caponata is a flavorful ode to the Southern Italian summer. Perfectly ripe eggplant is slow-cooked in a fresh tomato sauce and extra virgin olive oil until rich and silky-tender, then brightened up with a tangy splash of lemon juice, raisins and orange peel. Try this caponata on a slice of crusty, toasted bread, as a unique pizza topping, or even to dress up your pasta. Perché Ci Credo translates to “Because I believe in it” and expresses founder Enrico De Lorenzo’s passion for creating delicious, ready-to-eat, Italian foods using fresh, simple ingredients. Their artisanal sauces and condiments encapsulate the fresh and intense flavors of Salento, Puglia, with absolutely no artificial preservatives, additives, colorings or added sugar. All of Perché Ci Credo’s products are gluten free and most are vegan friendly.
