Dear PhuongPhan The Caponata is a Sicilian dish which need to be cooked at list half hour to combine the flavour of all the ingredients in a unique sweet and sour taste typical of the Sicilian island. Is not a capsicum aubergine sauté cooked for short time where the ingredients flavours remain separate d:)…..Actually “Caponata” is even better the “day after” cause the vegetables flavours have more time to combine. ………..So it wasn’t overcooked d:). About “too salty” I’m very sorry about that (sometimes it happens) but I don’t understand why You don’t call the waitress to change the dish instead to force Yourself to eat a salty dish till the end (??!!)……….I’m old fashion person and I use to do it in the restaurant if my dish is not good …..I call the waitress and I lets her change my dish d:)……….Can you imagine I even don’t need to complain on internet d:) Anyway I’m humbly hope you accept my most sincere apologies and I hope to see you again to fix the inconvenience d:)
