Grilled Layered Vegetable Antipasto
Grilled aubergine and courgettes are layered with just enough ricotta to add a subtle creaminess with very little fat. Packed in individual ramekins, these colourful stacks make a stunning first course, a healthy addition to brunch or paired with a salad, or a satisfying light lunch.
Oven-Roasted Cauliflower with Garlic, Olive Oil and Lemon
Cauliflower and Olive Oil are a match made in heaven.
Our favourite way to prepare cauliflower is to roast it in the oven with lots of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Aglio Olio e Peperoncino
This might possibly be one of the quickest and simplest dishes you will ever make! It has only 6 ingredients but those five ingredients come together to make an incredible display of fireworks in your mouth!
It’s an explosion of flavours that you won’t forget.
Sicilian Caponata
There are many variations of this dish and Caponata is a vegetarian feast. It is a very popular plate in Sicily and is famous in every town and every family has its own version.
It is a sweet and sour recipe and many of the ingredients used in it like pine nuts and raisins, clearly show the influence of the Arab and Middle Eastern world that has spread throughout Sicilian culture, architecture, dialect and food.
Caponata can be eaten as a side dish or as an appetiser. It is usually eaten in spring and summer and it is best served at room temperature, or even cold, with warm bread.
Carciofi Ripieni
Packed with nutrients, this is a classic that I grew up with, although it looks complicated its so easy to prepare than you think and is a lovely light main dish.
