Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel

Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel

My parents are here for the holidays and, like every year, I get to eat food from my childhood cooked by my mother. We used to eat a lot of fish when living in Italy and today I will share my mother’s recipe for one of my favourite dishes: Sicilian Sweet and Sour Mackerel –…

Sicilian Bell Pepper Involtini

Sicilian Bell Pepper Involtini

Today’s recipe is a very simple appetiser or side dish idea: Sicilian Bell Pepper Involtini. I love capsicums (or bell peppers), I always have. I have already shared a Bell Pepper Involtini recipe before, but this one is different. They are filled with what we call the ”Zangaras’ trademark”, as we use this same stuffing…

Sicilian Eggplant Bake

Sicilian Eggplant Bake

Eggplant are my absolute favourite summer vegetable (while artichokes top my list in winter!) and today’s recipe is an absolute keeper. It is a Sicilian Eggplant Bake made with tomato sauce, salami, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, Pecorino Romano and topped with beaten eggs. It is then baked till golden brown. It is sort of like a variation…

Sicilian Ricotta Crêpes

Today I will share with you a recipe that I have recently come up with while trying to finish off a few leftovers. If you follow Manu’s Menu, you already know that quite a few of my recipes come to life in this way. I hate wasting food… so I always try to be creative…

Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches

Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches

I made these Ham and Cheese Sicilian Brioches for my daughter’s 8th birthday party. When I was a child, I would spend part of my summer holidays at my nonni’s house in Palermo. Not far from where they used to live, there was a place called I Cuochini (aka the little cooks) where my mum…

Sicilian Almond Milk

Sicilian Almond Milk

Today I want to share with you a recipe that is very close to my heart. It is a Sicilian classic that people usually enjoy during the hot Sicilian summer. I used to have a glass of it in the evenings, sitting in our summerhouse yard while chatting with my friends. This is a sweet…

Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes

Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes

A little while ago, I was so lucky to find some amazing artichokes at the markets.  I got a tray full of them… and made them in many different ways.  Remember my Carciofi alla Trapanese recipe?  Those too were part of this batch…  Today, I will show you yet another way of preparing a delicious…

Polpette di Sarde alla Siciliana - Sicilian Sardine Patties

POLPETTE DI SARDE ALLA SICILIANA – SICILIAN SARDINE PATTIES

I know I have said this already, but sardines are my favourite fish.  Unfortunately it is not easy to come across fresh sardines in Sydney.  I find it weird as they are so common in Italy, but that’s just the way it is.  So whenever I see some, I buy them!  Today I will share…

Pesche Dolci alla Siciliana

PESCHE DOLCI ALLA SICILIANA

I am very excited about today’s recipe.  I am taking you all back to Sicily for this Regional Italian dish… a very special one.  These are among my favourite Sicilian pastries.  They are not as famous as cannoli, but they are just as delicious.  The filling is in fact the same sweet ricotta filling of…

Pan fried Sicilian Pork Sausage with fennel

PAN FRIED SICILIAN PORK SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL

Sausage is one of the meats I used to love the most while growing up.  I still do, but now I am much more selective and try to make my own sausage every time I can.  There is nothing better than fresh, home-made pork sausage: you know what’s in it, you choose the cuts of…

Home-made Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel

HOME-MADE SICILIAN PORK SAUSAGE WITH FENNEL

I am very excited about today’s post: Home-made Sicilian Pork Sausage with Fennel  It is one of those recipes that I have been making for a long time and that I have been very keen on sharing.  The only reason why I hadn’t done it yet was the lack of reasonably good pictures.  But finally,…

CASSATA SICILIANA

Happy Easter everyone!!!  Today I want to share with you my family’s recipe for the most iconic Sicilian cake: Cassata!  It is a delicious dessert made with sponge cake, filled with sweet ricotta and chocolate and decorated with candied fruits and royal icing.  Even though nowadays you can buy a cassata throughout the year, it…

PASTA WITH SICILIAN STUFFED ARTICHOKES

Today I am sharing a pasta recipe – Pasta with Sicilian Stuffed Artichokes – in a guest post at Chef Dennis’ blog, A Culinary Journey.  I think pretty much all food bloggers know Chef Dennis.  He is a very talented chef, but above all he is a very kind person and someone who is always ready…

Cassatine

CASSATINE SICILIANE

These cassatine are the snack version of the bigger and more famous Cassata Siciliana.  They are pretty much the same thing (apart from the lack of candied fruits on the top), only smaller and more “street friendly” as they are often consumed on the go on the busy streets of Palermo.  They are delicious little…

Il Siciliano Cocktail

IL SICILIANO COCKTAIL

Sicily is very famous for its citrus fruits… be it lemons, mandarins or oranges.  So, one of the drinks for the Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party that I organised as part of Foodbuzz’s 24×24 program had to have some citrus in it.  I chose orange, because it is sweet and I have a…

FOODBUZZ 24X24: SICILIAN STREET FOOD NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY

COTOGNATA – SICILIAN QUINCE PASTE

This is another one of my family’s recipes.  It is a traditional sweet of many Italian regions (especially in the south) and when my parents were kids, it used to be among the most awaited gifts that Sicilian children would get for “all souls day”.  You can find out more about the traditions of “all…

Sicilian Cannoli

SICILIAN CANNOLI – CANNOLI SICILIANI

This is the recipe of cannoli (well, my family’s recipe!). It’s a traditional dish from Sicily and it requires very specific ingredients that are sometimes hard to find abroad… there are many Sicilian migrants here, so l am lucky enough to find almost anything. If you can’t find ricotta cheese, you can try and substitute…
