Chicory
This beautiful plant is prized for use in salads, or sautéed with garlic and other additives and added to pasta sauces. The palermitano word seems much closer to the original Greek kikhoreia than the French origin that English draws from.
La cicuoria
Sta bbella virduta è bbona e si pò fari anzalata o puru vugghiuta e satata ‘nta paredda cu l’agghia, o puru ancora ca’ pasta. A tanti ‘un ci piaci picchì è amarognula.
La cicoria
Questa splendida verdura è apprezzata per essere usata in insalata, o saltata con aglio e altri ingredienti e come condimento per la pasta. La parola palermitana sembra molto piùvicina all’originale greca kikhoreia che a quella francese dalla quale trae spunto l’inglese.
