Sardella of Cirò Pesciolini Pepati
The main gastronomic specialty of Cirò Marina, known throughout the region and beyond, is the sardella, also called the caviar of the south or of the poor. A flavor that unites the earth to the sea, born from the processing of fish with red pepper and wild aromas. It is a product based on bianchetto (the fish species also called rosamarina, or biancomangiare). The whitebait is required to mature in brine for a period of up to six months. Once matured, the bianchetto, now reduced to a kind of jam, is mixed with hot chili pepper, obtained from the grinding of sun-dried peppers and wild fennel. The pilchard can be enjoyed on bread, accompanied with a glass of red wine, or as a condiment for pasta or eggs.
Ingredients: Ice fish (Neosalanx), dry spicy ground pepper, salt, fennel.
