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 that "Fried strawberries are a popular dessert served for Saint Joseph Day and Valentine's Day. I first tasted fried strawberries made by a street vendor in Italy. This fried dish is a perfect addition to our menu, since Staint Joseph is the patron saint of the frying pan." |
