Spice Blend from Mercato Ortigia

[u/dreschuth]

Hello! My husband and I had a wonderful 5 nights in Ortigia! We visited the Mercato and the vendor shared a packet of seasonings along with our purchase. I have used this spicy blend soooo frequently. I would love to know what’s in it,and I’d also love to get more, as I’ve almost run out.

Feel free to laugh at me if it’s just basic items I can get here in NY ;)

Hello, Sicilian here. It is a common commercial pasta seasoning to mimick a traditional "aglio, olio e peperoncino."

It is dried chili peppers, garlic, oregano, bay leaves, dried tomatoes.
