My father who is now deceased used to make a wine marinate, I believe was called vigna di che? We barbequed meats after marinating in this recipe. I have looked for some time on the computer for this recipe with no luck. Can you help? I would be forever grateful, sinecerely, Tracey

P.S. He was portugese, but I thought it was an italian marinate, I could be wrong.

First of all, I adore your website and thank you for your work.

My mother is from Loseto di Bari. I recall my relatives making (around the Christmas holiday) a ravioli-type cookie that had fine ground nuts and spices and perhaps chopped figs? for the filling. I believe that these cookies could have been fried too and they had a slight amount of a dark sticky syrup over them.
I bet that you perhaps would know the name and the recipe for these cookies.
At your convenience, could you please let me know.
Thank you.

Best Regards and Ciao!

I’m not sure what you mean by the original tramezzini recipe. This is a specific type of sandwich served in caffes in Italy. They’re very delicate, made sort of like British tea sandwiches, with thin, soft white bread, with the crust removed. They’re cut into triangles. Usually they’re filled with a thin spreadable filling, such as egg salad with a little anchovy, or some olive butter. I’ll think about putting up a few tramezzini recipes on my blog using spring ingredients.

If this doesn’t answer your question, let me know.

Ciao,
Erica

I love italian food and have been trying my utmost to get the original tramezzini recipe. It seems to be a state secret of Italy. :-)

Can you please help me?
