Synopsis
Sicily, at the bottom of Italy's boot, is the biggest island in the Mediterranean, and its cuisine is distinct. One thing it's famous for is arancini, or those tasty little rice balls that are battered and deep-fried. Vanessa shows us just how to make them melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with a cheesy tomato-y filling. Because of Sicily's southwestern location, it has unique North African influences, and next up, Vanessa makes couscous. This is seafood couscous with mussels, calamari and fish - being an island, seafood is one of Sicily's specialties. And, to showcase that specialty even more, Vanessa bakes a white fish, with citrus and fennel. She whips up a garlic-y eggplant dish called caponata on the side. It's also Sicily we have to thank for those crunchy little pastry rolls filled with decadent cream, otherwise known as the delightful cannoli. Vanessa studied with a Sicilian baker to bring us the secrets behind this bundle of goodness. First, she makes the dough and shows us the technique to cooking it so that it's crispy. Then, she mixes together ricotta, icing sugar, chocolate chips and other yummy ingredients for the sweet and creamy filling. It's simple enough to put the two together for an impressive dessert that could be straight from the island itself.
