A lovely lunch out in the country with Gina and family today and the aroma of Sicilian sausages being cooked on the barbecue greeted me as I arrived.
To start there was pasta with tomatoes and chilli:
Then the sausages were ready
along with barbecued pancetta and veal
served with green salad and a dish of grilled aubergines dressed with oil and mint. [All good Sicilian cooks will tell you that where there are aubergines, there must be mint]:
There was a tray of magnificent dolci like these:
Then a basket of fresh fava beans was brought in and we ate them raw to clear the palate. [I'm not normally keen on them but I do like them like this]:
And the Sicilian countryside looked particularly pretty today:

What another wonderful day and meal..simple yet very tasty, I love Fava beans, especially when they are podded twice..:-)
The look of those beans has made my eyes water :-)
That was supposed to say, makes my mouth water!!!
What beautiful pictures. You sure eat well! I'm so envious.
Wonderful scenery, good food and good friends. What more could one ask?
Hi, Anne. Yes, it was lovely. Hi, Cherie. I was wondering!! Thanks, Betty. We do, indeed, eat well. Hi, jmb. What more, indeed?
The salciccia in Sicily and Southern Italy are out of this world. They are real sausages devoid of fillers. Everyone must go and taste it, no point just reading about it.
Hello, Anne. Yes, the sausage really has to be tasted to be believed!
