Ficattola Grande con Salame, Squacquerone e Cipolla Soffritta
A large fried bread with salami, squacquerone cheese, and sautéed onion. Exactly like a pizzonda from Abruzzo, but even better — fried perfectly, very dry, great salami, and the touch of onion adds joy to life. Unlike our pizzonda, we don't have this fantastic squacquerone in Abruzzo. Good.
