Breadcrumbs are one of the main ingredients of Sicilian cuisine. A poor dish, born from the imagination of a people that could not afford meat and fish, able to make special recipes with few but tasty ingredients. Seitan is the contemporary alternative for a vegetarian dish. The original recipe calls for the use of anchovies.

Our recommended pairing is by Château Haut- Monplaisir. On the nose it is delicate, but with quite complex, well-defined and persistent hints. Slightly withered white flowers intertwine with fruity notes of quince and thigh pear. For the full review click here.
