If you’re looking for a weeknight recipe inspiration, look no further. This Fish With Eggplant Caponata Sauce is not only delicious but robust, delicate and easy to make.

A soft white fish is paired with a robust sweet and sour eggplant caponata sauce. You can also serve it during dinner parties and get together’s.

If you’re not a fan of fish, you can use this eggplant caponata sauce with pasta, as a dip for bread, meat, chicken, etc. The sauce is so delicious by itself that it will enhance whatever protein you pair it with.

There’s so much flavor in each bite because the eggplant and tomatoes are roasted prior to adding them to the sauce and also the addition of California Ripe Olives gives off a complex yet mild taste.

This Eggplant Caponata is the kind of sauce that’s tastes like it’s made with love. It’s easy to make but it does require a few steps to ensure maximum flavor.

I imagine Italian grandmas with a wooden spoon, stirring and cutting up the tomatoes. The California Ripe Olives compliment the sweetness of the ingredients because of their unique flavor, texture, and color.

One of my favorite cuisines is the Mediterranean one because it’s light and very fresh. The olive oil, olives, herbs, garlic. Simple ingredients I use in my kitchen frequently.

With this eggplant caponata sauce recipe, I used to fry the tomatoes and the eggplant before adding them to the sauce, but I decided to roast them first, and instantly there was a flavor explosion in my mouth.

It does make a lot of difference because by roasting them, the vegetables caramelize and help bring out their natural sweetness.

If you can, stop by your local grocery store and pick up a few cans of California Ripe Olives. They are packaged at their peak to preserve nutrients and it really shows in their delicious taste.

    I love this recipe! I was fortunate to have all the ingredients on hand but qdded some large shrimp because I didn’t have enough white fish. The only change I made was to sauté the fish and shrimp in butter and garlic. I also used kalamata olives for that briney flavor. I will definitely make this again.
