Caponata
Caponata a typical dish from Sicily. Despite that many people think Italians just eat pizza, pasta and other heavy dishes, Italy has been a poor country historically and the easiest things to eat, thanks to the good weather, were always vegetables.
Caponata is based on aubergine, or egg plant, the real meat for veggie dishes. With this dish you will taste full Mediterranean cuisine and the added flavouring ingredients make it a perfect 1-dish meal with bread or plain rice, or as a side dish.

Syrup Sausages
Sausages are a great source for protein and to have something 'chewy' as finger food on the platter is a firm favorite at dinner parties. Its especially great for introducing people to a vegan diet. The sesame seeds add a 'smoky' flavour to the sausages while the maple syrup and cayenne pepper (if you prefer a bit of a 'kick') is a great 'sweet-chili' combination.
Cayenne pepper is great for blood detoxification and stimulates the metabolism. The sesame seed oil is rich with manganese and copper which have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect in humans, and to prevent high blood pressure and increase vitamin E supplies in animals. Sesame has also been found to protect the liver from oxidative damage.
