Italy’s food was influenced by what their land and the land of the countries around them had to offer. Italians relied very much on the foods that were in season so they would be fresh, resulting in their cooking changing with whatever was in season. A lot of the dishes that are popular in Italian cuisine go back very far, like the PANZEROTTI. The are popular in the southern region of the country, even getting its name from a southern Italian word meaning “stomach” because of its filled shape.
The PANZEROTTI can be filled with tomatoes and cheese, ham and cheese, ricotta cheese and lemon zest or nutella to make a dessert. The Panzerotti is typically deep-fried. 😊👌
