It's DHs favorite food. When his mother came to visit in November, he asked her to make one for Thanksgiving dinner. It's really an Easter dish, but DH loves it all year. She left her recipe and I have spent the past 4 months trying to dissuade him from making it again. It's basically a slab of very delicious cholesterol, containing eggs, whole milk ricotta cheese, cold cuts and provolone cheese, all wrapped into a flaky crust made with shortening and eggs.
After a long lean winter, this is probably just the food a struggling Italian farmer would need to revive his half-starved bones, say 500 years ago. But now, we must be careful not to overdo.
Because this is a traditional Easter dish, I relented and let DH make it. The picture above is of his rendition. He's quite proud. He's already talking about how he will make the next one.
