Caponata di carciofi - Artichoke Caponata

Caponata is a Sicilian aubergine dish, made from cooked vegetables (onions, celery and tomatoes) seasoned with capers, olives and pine nuts, in a sweet and sour sauce.

I buy two bunches of artichokes today at the market, they looks so fresh, and I decide to make a winter caponata, using artichokes instead of aubergines.

Parmigiana di zucca e lenticchie - Squash and Lentil Parmigiana

Today I feel like having a vegetarian Sunday lunch: something special but without meat. I prepare a winter Parmigiana, made with squash, lentils and spinach.
I start by cooking my ingredients, separately and in a different way: I bake the squash for 20 minutes, as I want it still crunchy.
I sauté my small brown lentils with onion and carrot and then I braise them in a little tomato passata and vegetable stock for 30 to 40 minutes.
I  sauté my spinach in oil and garlic for 5 minutes.
