Notes
Sweet sour pumpkin, zucca all'agro dolce is a Sicilian classic. And once you'll try it, a classic in your kitchen too. This antipasto never comes alone. Caponata, cheese, olives, you name it.The use of olive oil is fundamental. There is no way to obtain a decent result with any other oil. White wine vinegar may be substituted. Avoid strong alternatives. Apple vinegar for example works out well.In some recipes the garlic is removed. If that is your intention, don't mince it. Sweet sour pumpkin as side dish may cause trouble. It is an outspoken dish and easily casts a shadow over other dishes. The same trouble occurs when choosing wine. We'd advice a fruity grillo wine.
