Frittedda Siciliana: Springtime Salad | Kitchen on the Cliff with Giovanna Bellia LaMarca

[@spanitaliangirl]

I always get SO excited when KZbin tells me you’ve posted a new video! 😀 It’s always the highlight of my day. Even though my grandparents came to America from Sicily, they had both passed on just before and just after I was born so I never knew them or had their cooking. You are my link to learning the foods of my ancestors, my heritage. Thank you so much, Giovanna. 🙏🏻 I love you for it. 💕

[@barrettfarmky1218]

Miss Giovanna and her sweet husband are such a blessing! Not only do we get to learn about her wonderful Sicilian heritage, but cooking tips and recipes that are scrumptious. With every video I just want to reach through the screen and give them both a big hug!! Thank you for sharing them with us! ❤😃

[@mellowyellowmom7631]

I see a pair of helping hands during the food preparation. Is that a daughter, granddaughter, niece? Brings back such happy memories of my family working together in the kitchen. Even the most tedious tasks could be fun with good stories,and companionship.

For any UK viewers who want to make this, USA fresh fava are broad beans here, and tiny tender peas are petit pois.

[@hoptoi]

When you laugh, I smile - just like I’m sitting in the kitchen with you!

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

I welcome you, my Friend!

[@TuckerSP2011]

Delicious! I went to Sicily in the spring of 1983 and had this combination of peas, fava and artichoke hearts in pasta with a simple olive oil dressing. Loved it. The delicate flavors each enhance the others.

[@suzannevega2289]

Giovanna, Thank you for another recipe and your beautiful presence, you are my favorite channel and I appreciate every video! Stay well, all the best💞💞

[@stefenrak6157]

Love the nails! Thanks for all your wisdom and fantastic recipes. Growing up in an Italian family your bringing back a lot of good memories. Ciao Bella!

[@loulou272889]

YES to the pretzel recipe! thank you for sharing your gift with us!

[@scioa]

Questa ricetta è il trionfo della semplicità. Un piatto "quasi" povero ma molto appetitoso. Ho notato la sigla e il sottofondo del'accordion di Joe Lee: bellissimo

[@denisecapurro7413]

Favas and artichokes my absolute favorites. My Sicilian Nana made artichoke and peas. Brings me back.

[@BernardCharles]

I am impatiently waiting for pretzels!!!!

[@Carol-ck2pg]

Hello, Giovanna! My father is of Sicilian heritage, and he'll tell you that fava beans are his favorite. I think it's been decades since he's eaten any since they're not commonly found where we live. And, honestly, I've been intimidated by them because I didn't understand how to skin them. Thank you for showing us! The fried bread looks scrumptious. I'm so happy to watch a new Giovanna video! ❤ Carol

[@sveppir2]

This is a love letter to spring vegetables. Can't wait to try- even though it's basically summer now!

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

If the vegetables are available, it’s always the right season!

[@elizabethactually1]

[@MrsTurntables]

Thanking Siri 🥹🤣🥰so adorable

[@nanni.5208]

Hi dear Giovanna ❤wonderful ,wonderful ,wonderful 🎊 🎊 🎊 You are great 😊

[@xjAlbert]

Thanks for celebrating this trio of healthy vegetables. I'll look for fresh favas at the Union Square Farmers' Market, or grab a bag of frozen at the grocery store. Looking forward to a pretzels episode with you!

[@lorraineflandina4320]

Just found you on u tube and I love your show and cooking ❤ reminds me of my grandmother from Calabria

[@shirleybezuidenhout2724]

Thank you Giovanni this looks so appetizing, will be trying it out. Good to always hear from you. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@1617Willow]

i am transported by your treatment of fava -- and by your gorgeous nails!!! supercute.

[@phronsiekeys]

So difficult to find fava beans and I love them. I was introduced to them in the UK as "broad beans," where they are considered a real delicacy. Unfortunately I don't have a garden or I'd try to gro them.

[@bellebeauty67]

Giovanna 🎉🎉🎉Your nails are exquisite ❤❤❤❤ Did you buy your knife and dough starter in Italia? Where can I purchase please. "The devil is in the details" ❤

[@thewrightranch]

[@tomcolicinojr.2641]

Ciao, Giovanna...So good to see you and your husband today at Alumni Day at Bronx HS of Science. This recipe looks delicious as I'm very fond of vegetables. By the way, Buon Compleanno to you! (I know your birthday is at the beginning of June...Perhaps today? 🙂). I'm sorry I didn't get to see you again at the school after our brief chat in the lobby. I hope you both had a pleasant day at our beloved school. 🙂 PS My maternal grandmother was also Nonna Carmela (Barba) di Mussomeli, provincia Caltanissetta. 🙂 Saluti cordiali! 🤩

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Dearest Tom, It was wonderful to have met you, as always, at our Beloved Alma Mater! Our Alumni Reunions are times of Pride and Pleasure! Thank you so much for your Birthday Wishes; it’s June 5th! 🍷Cheers, Giovanna

[@Notturnoir]

Caciofi are my favorite, i like to eat the leaves too! Fava are abundant at my farmers market, but i didn’t know how to prepare the Fave!

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

The inner skin of the fave is edible, you can leave it or remove it, it’s good both ways.

[@tpot725]

Tiny tender peas was my nickname in grade school

[@hollish196]

Pretzels, please! I would love to know more about making pretzels, and I am too leery to do this on my own. Which is silly, but there you are!

[@Lu.Manolescu]

🍀🍀🍀

[@reverenddr.anthonycapretta7367]

Hello My Dear Giovanna! I love the nails! What vegetable would you recommend in place of the beans?

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Dear Rev. Anthony The vegetable I would substitute for the Fava Beans would be frozen Baby Lima Beans. Thank you for your comment about my nails. Someone didn’t approve of them, and 4 people came to my defense. There is justice in this world!

[@Ps44445]

Your nails are very artistic 💅 🫶🏻

[@will-o-the-wisp-witch]

She said thank you to Siri 💝

[@cindia6697]

Have you made polenta?

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Yes, we have filmed it, and the video will soon be published!

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

Your nails are so nice!! They look like stained glass windows!!

[@GiovannaBelliaLaMarca]

Stained glass nails is exactly what I was going for 💅🏼🤩

[@CarBoH42]

I love your apron! I’m also drooling. Thank you as always! ❤ Please lose the nails. 😩

[@fenuccu]

[@tpot725]

Don’t cut the artichoke in quarters, leave it whole and remove the choke with a spoon , then cut it in quarters

[@tpot725]

And all those leaves are great steamed

[@tpot725]

She is making that step ridiculously agonizingly difficult!

[@dinkohrvat344]

you never do any fish dishes. Sicily is famous for seafood . Still waiting on a few baccalo recipes . 😠

[@Taco-e7h]

Perché massacrare così i carciofi? Mai visto buttare tanto, va bene pulirli ma così é sprecarli !
