Southern Italian TUNE IN Chef Michael Lomonaco travels to Sicily to net gleaming silver anchovies in the remote fishing villages of Sciacca and Aspra, and to discover why anchovies cured in salt are such a delicacy. The Southern Italian menu celebrates the bold flavors of the region. 
 Antipasti literally translates to "before the food" and refers to hot, warm, or cold hors d'oeuvres. Typical components include cheese, smoked meats, olives, fish, and marinated vegetables. The dish Shrimp Palermo is named after a city in northwest Sicily. The island's artistic, cultural, and culinary heritage combines the influences of every great civilization that has existed in the Mediterranean: Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, French, Spanish, and Italian.
 Anchovies are small silver fish from the Mediterranean that are indispensable in Southern Italian cuisine. They have been used to enhance flavor in sauces or as a condiment for centuries. We visited one site to learn about both salt-cured and oil-cured anchovies: Agostino Recca Contrada Cansalamone, 1 92019 Sciacca (Ag) Sicily Phone: 092523906 |
