You will cook traditional dishes depending on the seasonal ingredients you have on hand. Among the famous Sicilian specialties, you will be able to prepare "arancine" ( and be very careful not to call them arancini here in Palermo!)fried rice balls filled with a sauce that is ragù-like, and peas. Another option could be a dish that enriches the Italian repertoire of pasta recipes, namely pasta alla norma, made with a very tasty tomato sauce, fried eggplant and the typical Sicilian ricotta salata. How to end on a high note if not with a delicious dessert? The typical Sicilian one is the cannolo, made with a crispy wafer filled with sweet ricotta. Join this cooking class in Palermo and discover all the secrets behind the traditional recipes
