Hey everyone! Allow me to introduce myself!
I’m Chiara, a proud Palermitan who has been following a vegan lifestyle for the past 11 years. Being from Palermo, I hold a deep appreciation for our rich culinary traditions. When I first told my parents about my decision to go vegan, their initial reaction was:
“Are you crazy? How will you manage during the holiday celebrations?”
However, our local traditions actually offer an array of vegan-friendly dishes, as we historically have a strong agricultural background. Take, for instance, the typical Palermitan delicacy called “panelle e crocchè.” These are typically served in bread and made with chickpea flour, potato, and parsley. Another classic dish is “caponata”, a delightful medley of fried eggplants, olives, capers, onions, and tomatoes.
To assist those seeking vegan options, I want to share some fantastic places to enjoy a peaceful vegan meal in Palermo:
