Caponata (Parve)
Caponata, a southern Italian stew consisting primarily of eggplant and bell peppers, makes a wonderful kosher parve appetizer. Serve this versatile vegetable concoction at room temperature with toasted bread or crackers, on a bed of lettuce, or in a scooped out tomato. Given caponata is a medley of vegetables, there is lots of room to customize the dish according to your personal taste.

Focaccia Bread (Parve)
My wife and I recently enjoyed a night out together at a local cooking class. While we learned how to make many Italian dishes in the class, we liked this simple and delicious Focaccia Bread, especially when combined with Sun-Dried Tomato Spread, best of all. This dough can be used either for Focaccia or Pizza. Our children have become so fond of this Focaccia / Pizza recipe that they want us to go out again.
