“Go vegetable
heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and
vegetables the main course.” - Bobby Flay

This is definitely one to try out. Gave you a recipe that we tried recently and was delicious. Very Italian and tasty biscotti.
ReplyDeleteI make something very similar to this but without the rice. Will try adding rice next time as it sounds good.
