Skewers or fried spitini from Palermo with meatballs, bread, cheese and salami. They will make the happiness of young and old and the unhappiness of your cholesterol. But a one-off can be done. The recipe is palerrmitana, but it comes from my grandmother's personal recipe book, who added to the recipe the slices of salami: my mother has always prepared them. Now, my mother and grandmother are from Palermo, and there are also used two other different types of fried skewers or spitini. Why the word “spitino” indicates anything that is tucked into a skewer, breaded and deep fried. A type is similar to the chops Messina, but breaded and fried. The other is a rotisserie piece made with bread, béchamel sauce and meat sauce. Breaded and fried these too, and I swear that sooner or later I prepare them and leave you the recipe. But my family's version is different.
The fried skewers of Palermo are very simple to prepare: where only to make meatballs (with the same dough as the Meatballs in tomato sauce Sicilian style). Then alternate in the skewer meatballs, pieces of cheese (I suggest a fresh provola or a scamorza cheese), slices of salami and slices of bread. Finally, pass everything in flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs as you do with the cutlets Messina. And fry. And here is the miracle: if you fry in immersion and at the right temperature (170 degrees), you will getdry stringy fried feet, crunchy, with melted cheese at the right point. The meatballs will be soft, bread in a golden box.
The result is assured, as well as the race on the table for those who manage to conquer the last skewer left. The Sicilian rotisserie is full of these high-calorie and irresistible delights, starting with the mini pizzas and come on stuffed trousers to continue with rolled to wurstel and obviously pythons and arancine. We can't afford them every day, but sometimes yes. We deserve it, How about? Have a good day!

They can be done in the oven?
Emma you can try, probably yes but they will not have the same crunchiness and flavor. Let me know
