About

“Muddica is a sort of magic ingredient for Sicilians. Basically, it is fresh, flavoured breadcrumbs, which are used in a variety of ways – to stuff sardines, to coat a slice of fish to be grilled, as here, or even as a cheap, delicious alternative to sprinkling Parmesan on pasta.”

Ingredients

Method

Preheat the grill to medium-hot, and have the fish at room temperature.

Place the breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic and parsley in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients with your fingers to obtain almost moist but loose breadcrumbs. Coat the fish steaks with the breadcrumb mixture on both sides.

Put the coated steaks under the preheated grill and cook
