This casual menu is flavor packed and begins with Sfincioni, an anchovy and cheese topped Sicilian pizza. Marinated Eggplant serves as the antipasto. Simple Sicilian Cod is a quick and easy main dish, and it's accompanied by a warm potato salad that's dressed in extra virgin olive oil, capers and anchovies. Dessert is a not-too-sweet Ricotta Tart that is delicious served on its own or with a topping of sweetened fresh berries.

Sfincioni
This fragrant anchovy and onion pizza is more likely to be found in a bakery than in a pizzeria in Sicily, and it is fun to make at home.
