Caponata di carciofi

Caponata di carciofi is a traditional vegetable dish originating from Sicily. In this version of caponata, the key ingredients are fresh artichokes, which is the reason why the dish is perfect to make in the spring. Other ingredients include lemon, olive oil, celery, onions, capers, red wine vinegar, and tomato sauce. The artichokes are cooked in the rich sauce, and once done, the caponata should have a flavor that's both sweet and sour. This artichoke caponata can be served at room temperature, but it's recommended to let it rest in the fridge overnight, then serve it the next day, either as an appetizer or a tasty side dish.
