Comments from djplam :

This dish, from the town of Borghetta in Sicily, is used as a side dish or appetizer. Try the sauce on other styles of eggs. Use it on poached eggs, over and english muffin, with some proscuitto add . . . sort of a Sicilian Eggs Benedict! (Maybe Eggs Garibaldi!)

Taken from my cookbook, "Old Country Italian Cookbook", by Donald JP La Marca
