I think there a masses of variations of Caponata and I think they are meant to be a chunky type of sauce and I am unsure if there are particular vegetables that make a caponata a Caponata. Nevertheless mine was delicious over pasta and had loads of red peppers, celery and tomatoes diced finely then cooked down to a thickish sauce. This would also be great on a pizza base - maybe that will happen tomorrow ! I love sauces that make big batches that can be frozen for desperate culinary moments.
The original Caponata is made with eggplant (aubergine)!
