But Jason, remember our last lunch in sicily? Arguably Sicily’s most famous culinary export, caponata is now seen on menus across Europe. It's especially welcome in the baking heat of summer, and you'll often see cafés full of people enjoying this wonderful combination before getting ready for the day ahead. The mushroom sauce, again, was typical of the area because of the local mushrooms. Pasta alla Norma is arguably the best representation of Sicilian cuisine out there, making the most of local tomatoes, aubergines, garlic, basil and ricotta salata, salted ricotta. Being an island means fish and seafood is obviously integral to the Sicilian diet, and Italy’s famous gambero rosso (red prawns) are caught by the local fishermen. Many restaurants in Palermo will sprinkle crisp breadcrumbs on top for extra texture, and you’ll sometimes see white wine or almonds added as well. For some reason I wasn't able to find it when I searched :-) The pasta was made in the restaurant, in Sicily, so whether or not the shape originated here, it was a local dish. We were eating on Mount Etna where the mushroom rice dish is very typical of the area and made with local mushrooms. It is traditionally served with busiate, a local pasta shape which is similar to fusilli and looks a little like a telephone cord. This just happened to be the lunch served at a restaurant we went to today.

All restaurants on Etna serve mushroom dishes, and many of them include the mushroom risotto. Pasta al pesto Genovese is a dish from Liguria (in northern Italy) that puts one the most famous pasta sauces – pesto – centre stage, but there’s actually a Sicilian variation too (probably thanks to historic trade routes between Sicily and the Ligurian city of Genoa).

Often piled high in shop windows, they're the perfect snack whilst you stroll along the streets of the island's many towns and cities.

It’s most commonly seen in Trapani, where cooks will bash together almonds, tomatoes, basil, garlic and Pecorino cheese in a pestle and mortar to create a pesto-like sauce. Although it sounds strange the grilled sausage (it often hides a filling of cheese and tomatoes, or chili pepper) and the involtini is another typical food of the small villages on the Etna, where the meat is more eaten than the fish (swordfish's involtini are common in the area of Messina, less of Catania e surroundings).
