Wine pairing
For this dish, whose taste is delicate yet always sharp, we recommend a very dry white wine, with good acidity and body avoid overly fragrant wines. A Grechetto is a white wine that goes well paired with this dish, or a Pigato Ligure.

Chef's Tip
The final touch before serving consists of adding another drizzle of Academia Barilla Monti Iblei D.O.P. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Romanesco Broccoli tips and a sprig of thyme as a garnish.
