Messina-style dried cod
Typical of the capital of the Peloritan mountain area, this is one of the most energetic and elaborate dishes in Sicily. The recipe, which requires a lot of care in its preparation, allows for certain variations, such as the addition of the Spinedda pear, a native variety that hails from the Etna territory.
