The Pantesca salad or Pantelleria salad ( Italian: insalata pantesca) is a typical dish of the island of Pantelleria.
It is prepared with boiled potatoes, tomatoes and red onions, seasoned with pitted olives, Pantelleria capers, oregano and olive oil. [1] It is usually accompanied by mackerel in oil, [2] [3] but also by typical fresh cheeses such as tumma [4] or boiled egg pieces. [2] In ancient times, roasted dried fish was used instead of mackerel. [2]
