White tuna, Pizzuta almonds and milk
«I would like that this recipe remain a bit of a secret, to be tasted without too many words, without too many explanations. Like certain prayers that are valid for their brevity; to have and to hold on their own accord. A blessed recipe, three times white. For this it should be remembered».
Note
White tuna, the Pizzuta d’Avola almond and milk is an explicit reference to the white eating (“bianchi mangiari”) that spread in the XII century among the wealthy classes as a symbol of spiritual purity. To understand its influence, it would suffice to remember that, in a completely different context, it was also served in the banquet organized by Matilde di Canossa for the reconciliation between Pope Gregory VII and Henry IV.
