Pro Tip
- If you don't have a grill or don't want to man the grill in cold or inclement weather, go ahead and get a light char on your vegetable slices using a cast iron skillet or frying pan on high.
- To make your goat cheese more spreadable, add a little milk or cream and stir.
- Caponata can be served cool or warm. Refrigerating overnight will help flavors develop.
