Seriously Italian: A Sicilian Breakfast To Beat The Heat

Strawberry granita with just a small dollop of pane is, hands down, my favorite breakfast. Being second generation in America, some of my family's Sicilian traditions had not been translated to the younger generation. When I was afforded the opportunity to visit family outside of Messina, I jumped for it. This is what I ate every morning, with a caffe, right before heading out to all of the seafood vendors to order the days menu items - it was the perfect wake up! Whenever I have one now, it is like instant nostalgia....I'll have to purchase an ice cream maker ;)

Love your recipes. I was raised in an Italian family and of course we had macaroni every Sunday. But the treat was the extra meatballs, for breakfast, before they were put in the gravy. We had fried meatballs on hard rolls with butter, and of course no matter how young you were, a cup of coffee with "Lots" of milk. I have tired to carry out this tradition when my children were still living at home, and now they are still carrying it on.

I love the contrast between Sicilian cooking, and that of my grandparents from under the shadow of Mt. Blanc in the far north of Italy. It’s like Garrison Keillor’s Norwegians of Lake Wobegon meet the next door Puerto Ricans. What’s not to love.

I love coffee granita, though I'm also partial to the lemon. And that gelato bun/sandwich is genius -- I'm tempted to try it with cassata-flavoured gelato, just to make it extra Sicilian.
