Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

What's for supper, Mamma? A few typical Sicilian Recipes

 Pic is caponata


Sicilian Pistachio Sauce for fish, roast meat, vegetables, or crostini


Cheese That Can't Stand Alone: 10 Uses for Ricotta Salata


Parsley and Mint Tabouli  - you can throw some steamed zucchini in that, and you can skip the parsley


Parsley Pesto - you can use either walnuts or pignolis. Good for fish, crostini, panini.


A more complex Sicilian Pesto


Caponata. It's an all-purpose thing.


Classic Sicilian antipasto: grilled vegetables, done this way. Has to have sliced eggplant, but anything else: halved potato, halved artichoke, leek, peppers - you name it. Best grilled on wood.

one of the biggest regrets I had from my September trip to Sicily was not bringing back more pistachios from Bronte, near Etna's peak. They are uniquely flavorful.

Now I remember what attracted me first to MF: your recipes and your gardening info. Nice post, BD.
