Sugar compliments savory dishes very nicely, too. Odd that it fell out of fashion. Thanks for sharing!
Looks tasty, need a nice sauce to go with them.
Would the stuffed pastas mentioned in the source have been largely the same in the 1300s, or would they have differed?
lk dear 🌺nice
Any day with pork belly s a good day😃
This looks amazing!
I use to cook very similar meatballs (pork, parmigiano, herbs and cinnamon instead of sugar )…and so I'm happy to learn today that it's so old recipe….😀
Well prepared and great share
