Directions
The Sicilian swordfish rolls are one of the most widespread seconds in Sicily. We can find it with a different name depending on which town you are having them (such as “braciolettini” instead of involtini), however it remains one of the tastiest dishes of Sicilian cuisine; the substantial difference in preparing this dish lies in the filling that goes from grated pecorino cheese to a filling made with capers and basil or raisins and pine nuts. The most renowned are those of the Palermo and Messina cuisine.
The Swordfish, in Sicily, is exploited in a thousand ways, as a first or second course or even as a tantalizing appetizer (remember the carpaccio of swordfish characteristic of the splendid Messina and its province!).
