Arriving in Palermo for the first time can be quite daunting, however, after checking into our hotel and heading out to discover the city, we were amazed at the architecture, the street vibe and it’s diversity. Palermo is Sicily’s capital city. It’s layered in history dating back to the Phoenician traders in the 8th Century BC. Palermo alone has 8 Unesco World Heritage sites, all worth visiting. It’s a “foodie” mecca with Sicilian flavors rich in multiple cultures. The street markets are worth multiple visits to eat, shop or just watch the interaction of merchants selling their wares.

The simplicity of flavors in the green bean salad, lightly drizzled in EVOO tossed with oregano, hit all the notes. However, the bruschetta was the highlight of the meal. A trio of fresh tomato, ricotta with anchovy and caponata. Bellissimo! This meal began our love of Caponata and we have been making it ever since.
