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 ๐บnice
Any day with pork belly s a good day๐
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….๐
Well prepared and great share
