Sicilian Pantelleria Salad. Made with potatoes, tomatoes, olives, Capers, onions and oregano. Simple ingredients, without anything special in appearance. Yet, putting them together you get a plate deep scents, Mediterranean and heady. As long as you use excellent products and seasonal. Today I present a simple salad, my favorite. The salad is obviously Pantelleria Pantelleria original, a windy island surrounded by rocks and sea, where the cuisine is as simple as daily life. This salad so simple has become one of the symbols of Sicilian cuisine and for me encapsulates all the goodness of my Sicily. And if you like a kitchen island, do not forget to have a look at all my SICILIAN RECIPES.
My tips for a perfect salad Pantelleria
Any suggestions for a perfect salad Pantelleria: use at least two kinds of tomatoes, because it doesn't change just the form but also the taste. Datterini and Pachino, Camone e Piccadilly, San Marzano and Perini ... Again, the oregano should be a Mr. oregano, not the ones that are sold in sachets. I take in Trapani, in large clusters, that then I crush by hand: a perfume balsamic that consistently on the fingers. The onion should be a red onion, chopped and left for a few minutes to soak in a little red wine vinegar.
Capers only sections, and of course should be of Pantelleria. The potato of Sila, Avezzano or Viterbo. Black olives in brine, with that strong flavor and a little bitter. Salt could be that of the saline Ettore e Infersa of Trapani, hand-picked. The oil, Obviously, a great oil: I used an oil of Tonda Iblea, my passion. Often in summer you add green beans, I had and put them, but the original recipe does not expect. And now that I have made it very complicated to prepare a simple salad (I already feel most of you who is cursing me) I only say that it is not mortal sin add tuna in oil, but it's a tuna tuna, of Favignana, of Carloforte, of Marzamemi. Remember, the variety of ingredients is the basis for all RECIPE OF SALAD perfect, be it pasta, rice or vegetables. So have fun. Have a good day!
