Notes

Add more garlic if you like it.

Although part of Italy, Sicily has often gone its own way politically. That same independent spirit is found in the cuisine of this sun-drenched island, and most particularly in its fine sauces.

This Sicilian sauce goes well with all sorts of grilles seafood. It is also a perfect dip for potato chips or corn chips and some crudités.
