The surprising history behind a classic Italian American staple
In short: This video explores the origins of Chicken Marsala, a dish whose history is deeply intertwined with the evolution of the Sicilian wine industry and the influence of foreign chefs.
While a staple in Italian American restaurants, the dish's lineage suggests it may have originally been Veal Marsala, or perhaps Veal Sicily Madeira. Its development is linked to English wine merchants and French household chefs operating in Sicily during a period when the island was not yet part of Italy.
