Bonacini's Italy

Abruzzo 1 Season 3 Episode

Charming host Michael Bonacini delves into the secluded Italian region of Abruzzo. First up, a Farro and Vegetable Salad made with seasonal vegetables that is great on its own or as a side dish. Next, Michael crafts Rolled Meat Crepes. Loaded with meat and cheese, this savoury crepe dish is one of Abruzzo's scrumptious specialties. For his secondo, Michael prepares a protein commonly found in Abruzzo's mountainous region: lamb. Cooked with delicious egg and Pecorino, this lamb is simple, yet juicy and flavourful. Michael concludes his meal by baking a delightful Italian dolce - Sweet Half-Moon Pastries. Using a popular flaky pastry made all over Italy, Michael gives this dish the Abruzzo flare with delightful filling featuring sweet grape jelly, crunchy almond, and chunks of chocolate.
