Stigghiola


The stigghiola is a Sicilian food specialty, typical of the streets of the city of Palermo. It consists of guts which are washed in water and salt, seasoned with parsley and often with onion and other pot herbs, then stuck on a skewer or rolled around a leek, and finally cooked directly on the grill. The dish is generally prepared and sold as a street food. In Ragusa the dish is baked in a casserole and it is known as turciniuna.
It is listed as a traditional Italian food product by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies.
