Bruschetta with foie gras, anchovies from the Cantabrian Sea, apples and Monte Accas cheese mousse
Item 1 of 1
Bruschetta is loved the world over and Giancarlo Perbellini’s recipe is far from the common tomato and basil variety. Using decadent foie gras, its richness is cut by the saltiness of the anchovies and softened by the goats cheese foam.
