Caponata of Mushrooms

This typical Sicilian dish is the epitome of all that is fresh in that part of the world, where it is often served with the added Arabic touch of raisins and pine kernels. This variation of mine - inevitably to accommodate mushrooms - looks at first glance to be a little artificial. The end result is, however, a side dish that complements anything, and it’s also good by itself as a light dish.
