Features
Mpanatiglie, traditional Modica biscuits, with a completely unexpected ingredient inside: meat.
Some curious anecdotes are told around this dessert. The ‘mpanatigghi, it is said, were born at the hands of the nuns of a monastery, who (perhaps taking pity on the efforts of the preaching brothers who went around the various convents during the Lenten period) hid minced meat between the almond pesto and the chocolate dessert , the consumption of which was allowed even during fasting periods, because it was considered a lean food.
