Notes

This recipe was taken from Rizzi DeFabo's cookbook, "Cooking with Rizzi" (Crabtree Press, 2010) with the expressed permission of the author, an award-winning Italian-American chef and owner of "Rizzo's Malabar Inn." "Rizzo's Malabar Inn" is located in southwestern Pennsylvania (126 Rizzo Road, Crabtree, Salem Township). The food served at this restaurant, a local landmark dating back to the 1920s, reflects the culinary traditions of Abruzzo and Molise. Rizzi DeFabo notes in his cookbook "Agroddolce, one of the sweets on the Saint Joseph's menu, is made to represent the bitterness and sweetness of life. Although served as a dessert, this dish is excellent on morning toast. The recipe may be divided in half for a smaller quantiy." Photo: Mary Melfi.
