ChupaNote: my Cousin Fatima perfected this take-off on Sicilian Caponata without the eggplant. It has the same sweet and savoury flavors. She also sometimes adds capers, depending on how salty the olives are. She has also been known to use a combination of lemon and lime juice, or tangerine, clementine, orange or mandarin orange juice.
