Broccoli in pastella
Broccoli wrapped in pastry is a delicious and simple antipasto that is ideal for those who like to enjoy this delicious vegetable in a slightly different way. Broccoli is often prepared for creamy soups, baked versions with a rich bรฉchamel sauce or in the Sicilian version "affogati". Today, however, we will enjoy them with a delicious breading. The golden-brown fried coating gives the broccoli a crispy texture and brings out the flavors perfectly.
