In a Barbi world !!!

Sicilian broccoli and sausage bundle

This afternoon I’ll be going to the beautiful Estate of Decugnano dei Barbi, a old winery where I had the opportunity to work  last summer. A dream location where people can spend their holiday and also have the opportunity to taste great wines from the Barbi family cantina .
So today I’ll be there  for a tour,  wine tasting  and pick up my diploma !!!!!

So, as a Brava Italian woman, I’ve already planned a small appetizer that I can enjoy at my return after a VERY TIRING day!
I still have some filo pastry, so I decided to use it again. For the filling I thought to go for a classic combination ,from the Southern Italian cuisine. Sicilian broccoli and sausage with a hint of chili. This combination of  ingredients has been used for generations in southern Italy, from filling up pies to putting on top of pizza and as a sauce for pasta . So it’s a guarantee!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Me, I thought to use it to fill up my little bundle of Filo pastry . I do like the idea of a crunchy  texture.

 Here they are …… They  smell good  ,so I have a feeling they will be delicious too … …  I cannot wait to bit into these crispy appetizers!  That is of course, if there are any left by the time I get home.
I better go now , a wish you all a good weekend .
