CHEF'S NOTE |
|
|
Broth of musetto (sausage typical of the Friuli area) can be substituted with vegetable broth, which is lighter and easier to digest. |

For fans of white wines, Tocai is a full-bodied wine which is ideal for accompanying frico; for those who prefer reds, the Merlots are excellent. |
