Sicilian street food

I have a friend in New York who always fantasizes about having a bar or restaurant that focuses on Sicilian street food. These are photos I took in May of the street food available in the Ballaro market.

C.S.A 3.2

so these are my cooking greens from the C.S.A. a bunch of chard and kale and weird miners lettuce. I like to cook them Moroccan style, sauteed with a little minced garlic, preserved lemon and one fierce chili pepper. I forgot to drizzle it with Argan oil. Maybe next time.

here are the greens just blanched. It's always amazing what they cook down to.
