In Brooklyn I grew up eating what's called a "Panelle Special" which is panelle on Italian bread (or more often a seeded roll) with lots of ricotta and topped with grated parmigiano or romano cheese. So good!
That would be at Ferdinando’s Focacceria. One of two places in Brooklyn where you can get panelle. After mt last visit however, I will not be returning. The panelle special is now $9. They’re making them smaller, putting less panelle on the sandwich, and they have abandoned the traditional sesame seed bun for an unseeded bun that doesn’t taste as good. Keep in mind that the ingredients cost next to nothing. In its current iteration this sandwich has a value of about $4. Once upon a time the sandwich did cost $4 and it was bigger and better prepared.
A Brooklyn New York Italian Original. Joe's of Avenue U The Best! We all make this dish adding it the traditional way to a seeded roll with fresh Ricotta and Schreaded Parmigiano on top.
I made them on Easter Sunday. I wish I could show you a picture. They were delicious. I followed the recipe to the letter. Stirring and stirring was the hard part. My guest who are Sicilian and home cooks were very impressed. Thank you so much.
That’s so nice to hear, that makes me so happy! Thank you for letting me know. I’m glad your guests gave their stamp of approval. Yes I agree about the stirring haha. Congrats again, I’m proud of you! Great job!
Recipe looks tasty! But switching the whisk out for the spatula once the mixture had thickened slightly is how the finished product turns out lumpy instead of smooth and creamy on the inside. I like the idea for using the pasta container though! I use a silicone loaf pan, but a cylindrical container, not too wide but not too narrow, would work nicely. I'm going to try that next time.
Interesting point about switching utensils during mixing. I have not experienced any lumping. Yes a pan is perfectly fine to use as well. Glad you stopped by. Your comments are much appreciated
Haha yeh you prob have watched them all and then some. I’m hoping to shoot an episode tomorrow to release this week. I really appreciate you checking in. Hope all is well in your side
@@FoodMadeSimpleReal Ive had them before with my Sicilian friend trying to make it from memory. LOL. It took three tries before we quit. Im glad I ran into your "English" translation so that I can give it a try.
@@lyndameyer9465 firstly, I love that you tried from memory as I’ve done the same with other dishes before and while it’s fun to do, your right it’s very difficult without the recipe. I’m glad you found my episode and I do hope it helps. Once you run through the process once you’ll see they are actually quite easy to prepare. Let me know how they come out. Take care
Most likely there is too much moisture in your mixture. When stirring the mixture in your pot over heat, Make sure you are stirring long enough to remove most of the moisture. It should be pretty thick as in my video. Also be sure to refrigerate the mixture long enough so it sets. I hope this helps
Thanks for sharing your authentic Sicilian panelle recipe! Brings back wonderful memories
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻

Sounds great!, thank you for your time
Wow I just commented the same thing, I didn't see your comment. Brooklyn born and raised here, I've been to Joe's more times than I can count!
Joe’s is the second place in Brooklyn where you can get panelle. Have never been there however. Our family always went to Ferdinando’s.
@@anthonydevito The Best Era! But Ferdinando's definitely have to agree. I make my own also. It's "Mint" good old days just like the Benzi Box lol
@@anthonydevito Randazos lol memories 95% of us got out of NYC sad. But BEST of times.

@@FoodMadeSimpleReal me and pik is just waiting Mark. We cant wait for it.
Hi, Is it okay to refrigerate it overnight to fry the next day? I'd like to make it ahead of time when I have company.
Great question! Hello, I’ve never kept it overnight but I think it would be fine overnight. Best of luck with them, they are delicious

Mine keep falling apart when I fry them, do you know why this might be happening?

@@FoodMadeSimpleReal thanks for your response. I cooked mine 20 minutes and looked pretty thick. Thanks so much for your response!!
😋😋😋❤
