Ukrainians make caviar, the French make ratatouille, and the Italians make caponata. It's not hard to guess what the dish is based on, because everything is as simple as possible: seasonal vegetables, namely eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and spices. Capers and basil also add a bright flavor to the caponata, making it aromatic and savory.
