Off to Sicily
« on: July 01, 2011, 09:40:49 pm »
We're heading off to Sicily tomorrow (Cefalu and Palermo primarily) for 10 days and I'm so excited I don't think I'll be able to sleep much tonight  :)

I look forward to catching up when I'm back - I guess I'll need to set aside half a day to do so  :D :D

Bon Voyage - enjoy the break (just think of us Aussies - and others) putting up with winter just now - you are the lucky one!  And, yes, you will need to put aside a day or two to catch up on the forum when you get back.  Hopefully there will be loads of yummy new recipes for you to try.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

I'm back   8) 8)

We had a wonderful time and I'll try and post details of some of the food we had once I've read through the 11 pages of posts  :o

The only problem was the weather which was just a little too hot for me - mid to high 30s....   I prefer high 20s myself.   But I did get to appreciate lemon granita which is perfect after a long hot sightseeing trip.

I wish it was me but for us who has to stay here i can post a easy Sicilian recipe for a nice snack and easy snack.

Dont really remember if its posted before but here it goes

200 g Chickpea flour (make that yourself in the tmx with dry chickpeas and ear plugs)
500 ml water
1/2 ts salt
some fresh parsley
Start by chopping the parsley in the tmx and set a side
Grind the chickpeas at speed 10 until it sounds done
add 500 ml of water and set heat to 100 and speed 4-5
when it gets thick add the parsley and pour the paste into a olive oil sprinkled tray
cover the tray with plastic film and put in fridge for min 3 hours
flip out the paste on a cutting board and cut it into nice shapes
deep fry or fry in a pan in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side

Very delicious to eat with a tomato chutney or other kinds of dipping
