Wine pairing
A dish with decidedly Mediterranean flavors, it releases pleasing succulence and sweetness into the mouth, provided by the fish, the flavor of the eggplant, all highlighted by the salted ricotta. The richness and the sharpness of these flavors leads us to select a rosé wine, a bouquet rich in young fragrances of violets and cherries, fresh, dry, not too high in alcohol content such as a Cirò Rosato Calabrese or a Rosato Siciliano.

Chef's Tip
The diced eggplant must be fried in very hot oil so that it immediately forms a crust on the outside, thus preventing the oil from being absorbed.
