… Instead of the usual ham and melon, with the melon we’ll make a mousse: peel it, put it in the blender, flavor with olive oil and chili; pass through a strainer and throw away the water: add 5 sheets of gelatin and let it cool in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Add Pecorino (sheep) cheese with spicy fig jam ….. and a healthy salad of fresh tomatoes and basil.
………….. and let’s go with the colors!
