2Caponata
Caponata, a Sicilian eggplant dish, is a wonderful side for Christmas. This sweet-and-sour medley of eggplant, tomatoes, celery, olives, and capers is stewed until the flavors meld together beautifully. Caponata is often served at room temperature, making it convenient for large gatherings, and its rich, complex flavors bring a taste of Sicily’s culinary heritage to your Christmas table.
