Mushroom Caponata image

This is a lovely appetizer when served with crostini, pita bread, bagel chips or crackers. I've also used it as a topping over a salad of mixed greens. This mushroom version of a caponata is a twist on the traditional eggplant one.-Julia Cotton, Pacific Palisades, California

I found the caponata to be a bit bland.
