Grilled marinated sicilian eggplant and ricotta salata filling in the classic buttery flaky crust!
I prepared the beautiful eggplant from Footstep Organics similar to a traditional Italian pickled eggplant — first salting it to draw out the water, then I grilled it before marinating it with olive oil, balsamic, black pepper and garlic. I then vacuum-sealed it and let it sit so the eggplant could absorb all those flavours. Once marinated, I added ricotta salata (one of my favourite cheeses!), keeping with the Sicilian theme — which also happens to be where my dad is from — and some fresh parsley. Each hand pie comes with a little peperoncini in oil on the side made with peperoncini and cherry bomb peppers from Footstep Organics.

The facility is not nut or allergen free where the pies are made. Please specify all allergies
