Piatto Tu Giuru — Ricetta della Nonna, Prezzo di Ciccio

I swear it's good. I swear.

"Tu giuru" in Sicilian means "I swear" — and that's what Ciccio says to every guest before bringing the dish. A composition of traditional Sicilian ingredients reinterpreted according to the principles of Mediterranean Affective Deconstructionism: what was simple becomes complex, what was cheap becomes expensive, what was grandmother's becomes Ciccio's.

"Every time I prepare it, I cry a little. It's a form of quality control."

— Francesco D'Amplo
