CHEF'S NOTE |
|
|
To make the nuts easier to peel, put them in boiling water for about a minute. |

For this menu we recommend a dry rosé wine boasting a fresh, pleasant bouquet with fruity notes, like a Castel del Monte or a dry, well-balanced white wine with mineral and floral accents, like a Greco di Tufo. |
