I was checking out who I’d heard from on facebook today when my eyes caught a glimpse of panzerotti being advertised on the side. They were so inviting, so plump, you could almost smell them. I am going to make them before the month is over. I immediately did a search on what I could find out about them. Basically they are cheese filled pouches of dough, deep fried and eaten hot. One finds them in Puglia and other areas in Southern Italy. I’m thinking that I may have to have a whole repertoire of recipes before I visit. Or at least a list of foods that I will be able to hunt down to eat.
Making these may take more than one attempt since we are talking about deep frying. So be ready to hear about the results…
I look forward to trying them. (After the potato pancakes I’ve been waiting for.)

do they go in a deep fryer? We can do both at the same time? Well, one first and then the other. A new soltice tradition could be born at the Irving residence.

Ciao bella! Where would you like to meet in Italy? Lucca is wonderful and Italian trains are excellent for getting around. We could do a taste test survey of the best Southern Italian panzerotti and if it matches up to yours.
Have you ever made walnut bread? I bought some from a farmers’ market in December and it was so delicious I thought that I might have a go.
