Sarsa Saracina is a cooked sauce commonly used in Sicilian cuisine.
During the summer months, meat, vegetable and grilled fish barbecues are popular dishes, often accompanied by a simple dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped parsley (avoid using a food processor, as it can impart a grassy flavour), lemon juice, and seasoning.
However, experimenting with different dressings can elevate the dish and impress guests. Try Salsa Saracina especially on grilled fish.
While there are no precise measurements for sauces, the ratios and balances of ingredients and flavours are subjective estimates.
Salsa Saracina typically includes ingredients such as olives, pine nuts (or almonds), and seedless sultanas. Notably, Sarsa Saracina incorporates sugar and saffron, ingredients that are particularly prevalent in northern Palermo’s cuisine.
