Bonacini's Italy
Umbria
Umbrian cuisine is simple - fresh, seasonal ingredients and a lot of cured meat. For his antipasto, Chef Michael Bonacini cooks a uniquely flavoured Umbrian Frittata using succulent vegetables, fresh herbs, Italian sausage, and crispy pancetta. He then offers an Umbrian take on Stuffed Pork Roast or Porchetta. Sprinkled with toasted fennel seeds for a licoricey flavour, be sure to get pieces of the fatty belly, chewy meat, and crispy skin on your fork for the perfect bite. Michael pairs the Porchetta with the perfect aromatic side dish - Warm Lentil Salad. To finish, Sweet Carnival Fritters are on the menu. These sticky fried dough balls are drizzled with sweet honey and commonly served at the massive, month-long, Italian winter celebration Carnevale.
