De rijke en kenmerkende geschiedenis van Sicilië is terug te vinden in het streetfood. Deze culinaire leerervaring past helemaal bij de nieuwsgierige aard van Ainsley.

De beroemde chefkok Ainsley Harriott onderzoekt op een reis rond de wereld de relatie tussen plaatselijk straatvoedsel en culturele identiteit.

Sicily, at the toe of Italy has a complex history and one that is easily discovered through the food of this vibrant city. Here you can eat Sardines stuffed with Arabian nuts and fruits in a backstreet bar or go into the mountains, to a village inhabited by Albanians who moved here hundreds of years ago and try the best Canoloni in the world. And in the markets you could imagine that you were in a Moroccan Souk if it wasn’t for the Norman Churches and the irrepressible Italian style.

Ainsley discovers that this stunningly beautiful, ancient city still struggles with its history and organized crime. Ainsley meets the mafia fighting Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando and has a bizarre chat about the mayor’s love of Sicilian food in a market street once controlled by the mafia. Luckily, they were surrounded by armed guards throughout the interview!

The markets and backstreets of Palermo are a treasure trove of street food. Ainsley tries the Fritto Misto (fried fish and vegetables in a light batter) and golden balls of Arancini stuffed with smoked ham and mozzarella.

But there are horrors too. Spleen sandwich and some mysterious ‘meat’ sold from a covered basket that no one is allowed to look in. Ainsley wishes he hadn’t!

Ainsley cooks as the locals do, with ingredients that were in season. Fresh Tuna with artichokes and broad beans, Pasta with seafood, Sarde a Beccafico and a very local Pistachio Pesto sauce.
