Sicilian & Southern Italian Sunday dinners

Arab, Greek and Norman influence in one place: pine nuts and raisins in savoury dishes, sardines with pasta, aubergine treated with more respect than anywhere else in Europe.

Sicilian Sunday: Pasta con le Sarde & Caponata Supper
A bright, coastal Sicilian supper centered on pasta con le sarde — bucatini tossed with pan‑cooked sardines, wild fennel, saffron, pine nuts and raisins — balanced by a sweet‑sour caponata and a crisp orange–fennel salad. Textures (toasted mollica, creamy ricotta for dessert) and a dry Vermentino complete a true Southern Italian evening.
