Tuscan Black Crostini

Tuscan black crostini are a typical recipe from Tuscany. An appetizer much loved by Tuscans and others, it is practically never missing from mixed Tuscan appetizers, it is a crouton of bread with a chicken liver sauce on top. It is often served together with other types of crostini, but sometimes also alone. In every family there is a version that uses different accompanying ingredients, thus changing the nuances of the background flavours, however the main flavor remains the same. Very tasty, and if prepared well they are also suitable for those who have never eaten liver, trust me.

Beccafico Sardines

Beccafico sardines are a typical Sicilian recipe. Their name derives precisely from the fact that their shape must resemble the beccafico, a small bird that was hunted and consumed by Sicilian nobles. These birds were cooked whole including the entrails and placed next to each other. Popular wisdom in its daily poverty has been able to imitate the shape of these birds by wrapping the sardines in a roll and opening the tail of the sardines like the tail of a bird and filling the inside with pine nuts, breadcrumbs and other things to enrich their internal consistency. Today this dish, which has remained unchanged over time, has had great success and the sardines are prepared both fried and baked.
