Almond Brittle
Almond brittle is a traditional Sicilian dessert, characterized by its crunchy texture and the intense flavor of almonds. Preparation is simple and requires only three ingredients: peeled almonds, sugar, and olive oil. The almonds are lightly toasted in a pan with olive oil, then combined with the caramelized sugar. Once cooled and hardened, the brittle can be broken into pieces and served as a dessert or as an accompaniment to desserts and ice cream.
