This recipe can be found in Michele Cranston's "A Simple Table". The rich, salty–sweet flavours of the caponata are well suited to the milky simplicity of the ricotta, and the fresh oregano is a perfect accompaniment to anything with tomato. Spoon the caponata over just before serving, to keep the ricotta looking fresh. If you don’t have time to make the caponata, then the ricotta can be simply topped with fresh herbs, some olives, or quartered and well-seasoned cherry tomatoes. However, the caponata is a great recipe in itself and is equally at home with grilled beef or lamb, seared tuna or spooned onto bruschetta.
