Annurca apple risolio seasoned with caper powder
Ilario Vinciguerra serves up an elegant apple risolio recipe, dusted with a fine coating of fragrant caper powder. Annurca apples are native to Southern Italy, possessing a gorgeous flavour and rosy red skin. Ilario calls his dish risolio instead of risotto because he uses oil, olio, instead of the usual butter.
