The dish can be presented as an appetizer or as a main course, it depends on the quantity. The doses written here are those of an entree. This is recipe published in the Christmas special of the magazine “A TAVOLA” from 1997. Every so often, when I need to relax, I browse my old magazines in the kitchen. I realize that I picked it up I had no particular interest in recipes, I just bought the magazine, and now my eyes take it to a different importance.
