"...more seasonal than that!"
We have two fabulous ingredients: fresh Casentino chestnuts and Black uncinatum Truffle of Villa Magna farm, cheers to the short distribution chain! It is a simple and also very fast recipe, if it were not to boil and peel the chestnuts...but we want to compare them with those pre-cooked? Absolutely not...Prep Time
