The Silician kitchen 

The delicious Sicilian cuisine owes its quality and specialness to the excellence of the ingredients and the varied culinary influences from the past. We have compiled a list of typical Sicilian dishes.

Arancini 

Arancini are rice balls traditionally filled with risotto rice, cheese, peas, boiled egg and a tomato-meat sauce (ragú). These balls are covered with breadcrumbs and deep fried until they are crispy. Usually they are round and have the same size as an orange. Besides the traditional arancino there are all kinds of interesting variants to get such as; filled with ham and cheese, pistachio pesto, spaghetti, funghi and even with nutella! 

 

Granita e Brioche 

Granita is thick and creamy semi-frozen ice cream flavored with sugar, seasonal fruit or nuts.On Sicily it is often eaten for breakfast with a brioche (sweet bun). There are various flavors to get such as; lemon, watermelon, strawberry, mulberry, chocolate, pistachio, peach and orange.

Caponata 

Sicilian caponata is a vegetable dish with eggplant as the most important vegetable. The vegetables are baked and stewed in a sweet and sour sauce. The caponata can be eaten hot, lukewarm or cold as a starter or as an accompaniment to meat, fish and pasta.

Cannolini

A cannolo (singular of cannoli) is a pastry and a dessert consisting of a rolled biscuit filled with ricotta. Cannolo means small tube. Cannoli was originally associated with carnival, but they became so popular that they are now available throughout the year. Good cannoli have a crispy crust and are tastiest when they are freshly made.

Try pistachio ice cream, granita with pistachio, cannoli with pistachio, pasta with pistachio pesto and pizza pistacchio.
