Sicilian pickled Summer Vegetables
Pane-Bistecca
I’m ready for our next BBQ! Sicilian pickled summer vegetables go wonderfully with grilled food, fish, cold dishes, cheese and much more.
The recipe is very simple and the vegetables taste really good. I think it’s nice that the colors are so bright and it just fits on every plate! My ancestors were simply brilliant! You can store these vegetables for up to 6 months, so they are great for preserving summer vegetables from the garden.
This is how you can preserve the vegetables.
