Ready to pack a picnic bag? Don’t forget the tigelle, tiny delicious savoury treats without leavening, perfect for picnic as well as birthday or garden parties..
Tigelle are also known as “Modenese crescentine” as they come from the Modena area (Emilia Romagna, Italy). These small focaccine are filled with “salumi” (cured meat, cold cut) like salami, ham, Parma ham, lonza, bresaola.
I took this recipe from the book “Ricette in famiglia”, by Benedetta Parodi, Rizzoli. I thank my sister for this useful and much appreciated present!
