  • About

This cherished dish boasts a heritage dating back to Sicily’s Arab rule in the ninth century. Aubergines, tomatoes, onions, celery and capers are combined with olive oil and vinegar to create its signature sweet and sour flavours. Over time, it’s become a symbol of Sicilian cuisine, celebrated for its diverse cultural influences and versatile usage as a side dish, served as a snack atop crusty bread or as a relish with grilled veggies.
