Piedmontese starter
€27,00
Piedmontese cuisine often draws its best recipes from the poor peasant cuisine.
Again, the Piedmontese antipasto is a preparation with very ancient and simple origins. In the past, in fact, it was used as a method of preserving vegetables for the winter, which in summer naturally abounded in the garden of the Piedmontese.
The crunchiness of the vegetables blends with the delicacy of the fresh tomato-based sauce, creating a harmony of flavours and textures that captivates the palate from the very first bite.
The custom of eating this dish as an appetiser is, however, fairly recent and takes a prominent role in the entrée of more elaborate lunches, but also in home kitchens, perhaps enriched with mushrooms, slices of hard-boiled egg and a few olives.
Perfect for seasoning meat dishes or simply enjoyed with bread as a side dish.
