Pane cunzato – what to eat in Sicily
One of the simplest and tastiest dishes in Sicily is pane cunzato. A humble dish characterized by the sea and the land, which gives the possibility of living a unique taste experience.
It is a traditional dish spread throughout Sicily, made with typical local ingredients, such as Sicilian primo sale, tomatoes, oregano and Sicilian anchovy fillets.
Pane cunzato is a popular cuisine recipe, which was made with simple and simple ingredients. This sandwich was lunch in unfortunate times, when at home there was barely bread, oil and a few home-made ingredients. For this reason in the past it was also called “bread of misfortune”, from the need to enrich the bread, sometimes stale, to be able to enjoy it at lunch.
Sicily is a land loved for its colors, its traditions, the people who distinguish its hospitality and, certainly, for the wonders that can be created in the kitchen.
