Does Caponata Freeze Well?

Can I freeze eggplant caponata? This eggplant recipe freezes beautifully therefore you can make a big batch and freeze the rest to use later. Once it's is fully cooled, transfer it into an airtight container and freeze for up to three months.

How long can you keep caponata in the fridge?

For best flavor, allow the caponata to rest at room temperature for an hour, or longer in the refrigerator. Serve warm or at room temperature (some even enjoy it chilled), with crostini if desired. Caponata will keep for about 5 days, covered, in the fridge. I suspect it would freeze well for several months, too.

Do you eat caponata hot or cold?

Caponata is a Sicilian sweet and sour version of ratatouille. Because eggplant absorbs flavors like a sponge, it's particularly good in such a pungent dish. Like most eggplant dishes, this gets better overnight. It's meant to be served at room temperature, and I like it cold as well.
