For our first Thanksgiving at Tutto Doppio, we were fortunate to have G’s babbo Ron, along with friends Chris and Andrew. We pushed the festivities back a day, and then spent it baking, grilling and roasting in the forno al legno (wood-burning oven). The menu:
- Beer
- Pizza (2 onion, 1 zucchini, 1 sausage & mushroom)
- Beer
- Grilled steak (just to tide us over)
- Beer
- Roasted suckling pig, stuffed with sausage, onion and rosemary
- Roasted potatoes with garlic and rosemary
- Roasted tomatoes with garlic
- Freshly baked bread
- Local red wines
Kudos to my pig-roasting amico, Andrew, for technical advice and moral support! A fantastic first outing roasting a pig.
