Sicily

Palermo

Caponata, veal marsala

Sicily, which is located just off the “toe” of the boot of mainland Italy, is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. The rich volcanic soils (thanks to Mt Etna), produce delicious citrus like lemons and blood oranges, as well as almonds, olives, and other fruit. Lamb, pork, veal and rabbit are all common in central Sicily, which is hailed as the birthplace of the meatball, called polpetti; with pasta usually topped with heady, spicy tomato sauce.
