Descrizione

We reveal you a trick that might interest professionists: if you want that your omelette has an optimal consistency, as soon as you start to cook the eggs in the pan, move it forward and backward for at least one minute.
This simple gesture will enhance the final risult and your plate will be ready to be tasted.

Another suggestion that concers vegetables which should be sliced at the last moment, otherwise the risk is that they lose part of the nutritious substances due to air and light contact.

A good wine appropriate to go with this recipe, could be the umbrian Grechetto, fresh and not very structured, or even a little tannic red wine like Rossese di Dolceacqua.
