What I love about him (and the Italians) is they often appreciate what they have at hands. Local food are always their cup of tea (and they really taste good)! I wish I could travel to Italy now!
I'm fortunate to travel to Italy for work several times of the year ,and I usually will take anti pasti in the evenings, and that's all I eat, because usually lunch has been extensive. A combination of either Grana/Parmigiano and some salumi is all that is needed to have a feast. In the Bologna area this usually accompanied by gnocco fritto, a sort of small pillow breads, served warm. This, accompanied by a bottle of dry Lambrusco, is absolute heaven. Eat slowly, sipping that wonderful wine, absorbing every bite of ham, sausage and cheese. And its true, the Parmegiano on its own in little blocks, is just heaven! In Parma, they serve them often as a sort of desert, after your main dish, wonderful!!
WOW, this recipe seems to be so UNBELIEBABLE great and TASTY that we have TRY it out although I have never seen sth. like this before ... GREAT :) Greetings from WIESBADEN in Germany :)))
I never thought I could eat Parmesan with balsamic vinegar but it sounds delicious. I’ll have to find the best balsamic I can get, not the supermarket kind.
