Schiacciate, did you say? What part of Sicilia was your father from? It may be a recipe native to his area, because I have never heard of it.<br /><br />Come back soon and again thanks for your words.<br />Lola xxEleonora Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746184664869196394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-18205704355044746392009-09-22T00:49:15.280+02:002009-09-22T00:49:15.280+02:00Your introduction to the Island that holds so much...Your introduction to the Island that holds so much of my soul, made me cry. I was born there and have in recent years been back 3 times. The last to take my fathers remains back.<br />I adore that you speak of the beauty and the ugly things one see's along the coast.<br />I make my father's caponata and pasta with eggplant as well,I also make Panellie made with chick pea flour, but I never got to make his olivie scachati. Its green olives split and soaked in water for I don't know how any days, and then the dressing of olive oil garlic .Would you happen to know the proper way to make these. I would be ecstatic.
