Talk about a Sicilian treat. This is a really good fritter. My dad use to take us to this Sicilian place in Brooklyn, NY that was all Sicilian food. Mr. Joe made these on the spot. I would order them with a side of string beans that were just as fabulous. I wasn't allowed to just order the fritters, my mom said I had to have something else.....lol
