When people think Italian food they think pizza, panini and pasta! After trying this delicious food I’m shocked this is not the most recommended dish. I don’t think I miss anything more than coccoli each time I return to the U.S.
Coccoli, which actually means “to cuddle,” has been a popular street food among Florentines since the 50s. It is now found at many restaurants as an appetizer and in many aperitivo buffets. Coccoli is fried pizza dough made into little balls. The traditional way to eat it is with prosciutto and stracchino cheese. Stracchino is another delicacy I wish we could find easily in the U.S. It is soft and creamy without a rind. Little can replace it, the closest thing would be mascarpone. The traditional coccoli dish is fantastic. Made even more delicious with a thick balsamic sauce.
