RASCATURE

January 4, 2012 By Manu 5 Comments

Rascature

This dish was not originally included in my proposal to Foodbuzz for my 24×24 event on Sicilian Street Food New Year’s Eve Party: it was a spur of the moment decision.  As they turned out great, I am sharing the recipe with you as well!  It is really not a recipe per se, but it was a way for street vendors not to throw away the left overs that remained from the panelle and cazzilli mixtures: they would scrape off all the left overs, turn them into rascature (which literally means “scrapings”), fry them and sell them!  Ingenuous, isn’t it?  But I am so glad they came up with this idea or we would be missing out on yet another delicacy!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Whatever remains from the cazzilli mixture
Whatever remains from the panelled mixture

Mix all the left overs together and shape into little prisms with tapering ends (7 cm – 2.75 inches long, 3 cm – 1.2 inches wide and 3 cm – 1.2 inches high).

Deep fry in hot vegetable oil and serve hot.

    People never threw any food away in the old days: a good lesson to learn. I never through food away. And why would you when you can make such a tasty treat out of leftovers anyway, right?
