Fritelli di Riso – Sweet Rice Fritters (Scappi, 1570)
Rice fritters may not sound exciting on paper—but let me tell you, these were the bombdiggity. I originally planned to test a savory version (I thought it might better suit modern palates), but after one sweet trial? Sold. The almond milk and sugar were perfect. Even better, the flavors made a lovely foundation for the fricassee of rabbit and black broth it was served with. This dish punched way above its weight in the Alesso Course lineup.
