In Palermo, Stanley visits the 16th-century palace of Princess Stefania de Raffadali, the perfect setting to sample a dish that he has come to be associated with: Timballo (Timbale in English) or Timpano. This is the Sicilian casserole-type food that features in “Big Night”. Using a timbale mold, the princess’s chef Maria prepares eggplant timbale, rice timbale, and a timbale with a pastry crust. Tucci and the Raffadali family discuss the international origins of Sicilian food, the mafia murders of Falcone and Borsellino, and the changing faces and flavors of modern Sicily.
