Bonacini's Italy

Bonacini's Italy

One of Italy's quieter regions, Friuli Venezia Guilia offers iconic decadent dishes, waiting to be discovered. Renowned chef Michael Bonacini begins his exploration of the region with his take on a traditional meal: Cheese Crisp Baskets with Polenta and Mushrooms. This savoury antipasto is an elegant looking dish with humble flavours. For his primo, Michael prepares a unique Poppy Seed, Sage, and Prosciutto Pasta, a dish that is a twist on traditional pasta. Looking for a little heat in his secondo, Michael cooks up a meal of Spicy Tomato Scampi. The sweet meat of the scampi counters the heat of the sauce, creating a delicious flavour combination. To end his meal, Michael looks to the region's Austrian influence by preparing his dolce of Apricot Sweet Buns. Soft, sweet, and light these buns are the perfect way to wrap up a Friuli Venezia Guilia meal.
